Nige,
Welcome to the Bulletin Board! Your chassis no. indicates an original RHD car, my guess is that it was built around late November / early December 1977.
As John says, you can get a certificate from the JDHT which indicates, amongst other info, the build and despatch dates of the car. I think it's still about £30 for the trace.
Unless I've somehow missed it, it doesn't seem as if you've entered the details of your car in the register yet. It would be very helpful if you could do that asap. Please ensure you have all the relevant details including paint and trim codes before you enter the info. If you've got any probs, please ring or email me. Tks.
