This 998LS was on Ebay, January 2014. The car appears to be completely original, other than its white paint. The blue 998LS cars were the most common of the 998 LS's, followed by those produced in gold, silver and green which were produced in late 77/78 in lead up to the release of the 1275 LS.

In 1977, the LS was the top model at the time, benefiting from all possible options available from the mini parts bin - which I have briefly summarised in the factory options section below. This model was followed by the limited run 1275 LS, of which we have quite a few cars listed on classicregister.com.

Finally, we have been able to identify the correct paint code for the blue cars, which we have been looking for, for a long time. If anyone has purchased this car, of has history on it, please get in contact with us, ad we would love to be able to add further information and history for the car to this website.
