For sale: 1977 998 LS Mini Leyland

Advertised on FB in January 2025, asking $17,000 - this is a very rare 1977 998 LS (rarer given that the seller notes it has no rust!). The following comments were made by the seller at the time of offering: "This car is a very original car and is rust free , no rust in boot , floors , sills ect . Engine bay is extremely original and tidy . No oil leaks . Starts first go . The interior is in very good condition and the seats are in excellent condition. Everything works . New windscreen to pass a rwc . The original vinyl roof is in very good condition. I put this car in to be re painted as the original paint was getting thin and the painter has started it but can no longer finish it due to health reasons"
