Me and my mini

[Rishaav]

Howsit dudes! I have always loved minis and always wanted one. Recently a good opportunity came up to buy an existing project cheap. I followed my heart and did it! (No papers, deregistered)
I am not sure of the year model of the car and the engine numbers do not match.  

Any indicators of year model on the car? 

The disc has a 7 digit vin number, is this normal? 

How hard will it be to sort licensing out? (Register and use daily - legally) 

I am from Durban. Where/who is the place for me to get spares, bits and bobs?

Any advice is appreciated!
