This is an interesting mini who's body may not in fact be an LS. The LS ID tag appears to be attached to the shell using aftermarket screws, and there do not appear to be flare backing panels extending down the front mudguard edge, suggesting that the shell may be a standard Leyland mini. Either way, the ID tag is LS, and it makes it onto the register for that reason.

This car was found for sale on Gumtree in November 2015 - said to have a Rover Mini 1275 engine unit, and has had the interior substantially modified, and a right hand tank installed. If anyone knows the car, or ended up buying it, please get in touch with us so we can add further information to the LS register.
