Minis made for the Canadian market in the 70s had emissions equipment to meet North American emission standards. I do not know if California standards were met. AFAIK no other Mini was so equipped. So unless your Mini is a Canadian one you are unlikely to find what you are looking for.

Usually you can only get this evidence for vehicles manufactured in Canada.

- A certificate stating that the vehicle has been inspected by a California Air Resources Board-licensed laboratory.
- Evidence that the vehicle meets Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California emissions standards.
- This includes an EPA and California emissions label attached to the vehicle.
- A smog certificate.
- This applies to gasoline vehicles manufactured after 1968.
