Ive just brought a '55 cooper, and ive seen lots of posts reguarding R??

Are you talking about a 1955 Mini? Thyen there is no R number. That is a designation for the new generation of MINI's.

Sorry no, its a bmw 2005 '55 plate cooper:confused:

OK, I have no idea what the '55 plate means as I live in the States.......sorry.

by the way registartion numbers are nothing to do with the R number. The R number is the design number. and if your intrested BMW's use E Numbers

this helped me out. thanks. i've got an '06 Cooper which seems to be an R56

[ScottinBend]

An '06 would be either an R53 S or an R50 Cooper or an R52 'vert..
