AnswerHi Antonio,
If you have a business license, you should be able to get connected as a retailer with Moss Motors, The Roadster Factory, Victoria British or Engel Imports. There are others but those come to mind. They each have a website to get numbers and/or addresses. It may depend on whether they have dealers in your area.
As for the year model, you will find in each of their catalogs when there is any change it will usually list it as a different commission # or Vin #. Many of the British cars back then didn't have year models, they just made small changes as the went and besides, in the US a car was titled as per what year it was sold not what year it was meant to be. Generally back then if you seen a production date of the 7th month it was suppose to be the following years model. But it was not always true.
My advise is to contact each one to see if you can get connected as a retailer and ask for a catalog. In their catalog when there is a difference in parts they will note it by Comm. or VIN # so you can order the correct part.
