Question as above;
I know there is a table in Original Cooper & S, but I don't have access to it at the mo.
Thanks,

I think that that glass is too recent to be listed in JP's book.

Thanks Nick,
That's what I thought. It is certainly not MK1 glass is it.

Certainly not early Mini, that is... earlier than the mid/late 70's.
Found this with the same codes, but doesn't help much...

43R 00029 would suggest that glass was made after 1981. The United Nations published there Regulation 43 in that year which concerns vehicle glass. Securit glass is manufactured by Saint Gobain that have a factory in Belgium, hence the E6. The E6 is were the glass was certified and the oblique make above the E6 shows that it is toughened glass. BS 857 would suggest that it was manufactured for the British market.
