MINI ONE / Cooper R50 2001 VIN Decoder

The VIN number of a car exists before its registration number and uniquely identifies the cars chassis. On a recent factory tour of the MINI Plant Oxford they spoke about how the VIN is assigned after "body in white" when the car goes from being welded together to being painted. It can be assumed this process was roughly the same in 2001.

The VIN is used by manufacturers to uniquely specify the options for the car. The colour, the wheels, the stereo to be added are all specified against the VIN. The process of VIN Decoding with a VIN Decoder is where you take the VIN, or commonly the last 7 digits of the VIN and lookup the options.
