Usually by the year. I think most 75s from 2002 were Longbridge. Also, the build data base will show up your car if it’s Longbridge but most likely won’t show if it’s Cowley as the Cowley records are missing from what I understand...

Generally speaking by looking at the VIN, if it's 2D------ then it's a Longbridge car

Also most Cowley cars have black sills

On the site it says from 1999 to 2005, so it should cover Cowley cars?

Look at the last VIN letter before the last 6 digits.
M= Cowley
D = Longbridge
