This is a very rare mini 998 LS. The 998 LS was introduced as the successor to the mini S and SS, and was considered a top spec model. The 998 LS in some ways was more equipped than the 1275 LS, with items such as grille mounted foglights standard (whilst these features were optional on the 1275 LS. This car is the most common colour you will find the 998 LS in - metallic blue. Often, these came with a vinyl roof (usually dark blue originally to give a 2 tone effect). However, these days, unless...

About this 1275 LS This 1275 LS is an interesting one with a vinyl roof. I was aware that 998 LS cars often came with factory vinyl roof covering, however, I was not aware this was continued on the 1275 LS. This may be a custom job, however, if anyone is aware whether this was done on the 1275 cars from the factory, that information would be appreciated. The car appears to be very solid and original ,other than the contessa style minilites. Difficult to pick in the pictures is the type of...

About this 1275 LS We do not have all the details of this car, however, we do have the beginning of the chassis number for reference. If anyone knows the car, please let us know the remaining chassis and engine number details. Based on the start of the chassis number we have, I have estimated that this car was produced in August 1978. The car appears to have been restored beautifully to an original state. The owner has opted for brown stripes down the side. There is some argument over whether...

About this 1275 LS Here is a very clean example of a restored 1275 LS. The owner has opted to do away with the 12" steel rims, and replace them with 12" minilites, which is a very common move, and thankfully to LS collectors, has made the original steel rims and hubcaps in reasonable supply on gumtree and ebay over the years. Like a couple of other LS cars on this register, this one has had a sunroof installed. This may have been dealer done, or aftermarket. If anyone knows if this was a factory...

About this 1275 LS This is a particularly interesting 1275 LS, given that the entire body shell has been de seemed, with even the wheel arch flares moulded into the bodywork. A lot of work has been done to achieve this, and the car looks amazing, but unfortunately these modifications have come at the cost of some of the cars originality. The interior has also been re vamped, with all trims done in what appears to be cream leather / vinyl, and the seat fronts in a cream coloured cloth fabric...

This 1275 LS appears in very good condition, suggesting it has been restored to original condition at some point. Surprisingly, the restorer was able to obtain some original trim - the corduroy style red fabric in the silver cars, which as far as I am aware, does not exist anymore. A common additional feature on the 70's minis was the rear window louvre. These were a factory option, however, were often purchased separately and added to the cars. There seem to be a large number of louvre's which...

About this 1275 LS This 1275 LS was last advertised for sale in 2006, when it was located in Geelong, VIC. If anyone has information about the current location or status of this mini, please get in contact with us so we can accurately record additional information on this register. This car appears to have had a mini moke 1275 engine installed in place of the original 1275 LS motor. The 1275 LS motor should begin with a number prefix of 12H902, or 12H897. However, the number on this motor is...

About this 1275 LS This car was for sale in 2012, located in the ACT. I am not sure where this car ended up, so again, if anyone has information, please pass this on so we can add the information to classic register. In particular, we don't know the engine number for this car, which is important data to have. The pictures don't tell to much about the condition of the car, however, from what we have, it seems to be fairly original. It possibly still has its original paint (if it has veen very wel...

About this 1275 LS This car appeared for sale online around 2012. If anyone has further information, particularly with respect to the engine and chassis number, please pass these details on so we can accurately record this in the register. This LS, like many others, is an unrestored, however, appears to be mostly complete and original. Unfortunately we dont have any further information about the car, but I hope someone will recognise the parts of the engine and chassis numbers that we have...

About this 1275 LS A previous owner of this car has contacted us, and would like to know this car's whereabouts today - if you are the owner, or know the current owner, please contact us so we can pass your information on. Unfortunately we have very few images of this car. This 1275 LS appears to be in good condition, and notably, has a vinyl sun roof installed (aftermarket presumably). There also may be a turbo charger by the looks of it under the bonnet. Little more is known about the car - I...

About this 1275 LS This is a very original, unrestrored 1275 LS which was for sale on Ebay in November 2012. The car appears to have been sitting for a while, and everything seems original. Unfortunately, the car has suffered terrible amounts of rust, but would be salvagable. I do hope someone ended up saving this car - please contact us if you know where this one ended up, so we can update the details here on the register. It would be a shame to see this car parted out, considering all of the...
