so either swapped plate or somehow survived for 32 years |

Or it could be repainted |

This is in France (though not sure they'd be happy with a Mini trundling round on a foreign plate for 30 years!). |

My guess would be it left UK in 83 and had lots of adventures somewhere foreign, during which it got repainted and lost the usual Clubman side trim. With the loss of UK taxed status, it would have to be re-registered in its new country to be legally driven on road, so those UK plates are not its current identity (or DVLA have lost a big chunk of data). |
