This 1275LS has had a lot of money put into it, being slightly modified in several areas from the original. The car has a RHS tank installed, as well as four wheel disc brakes (the fronts were always standard on the 1275LS, but the rears are not!). The car also has extra wide wheel arches and 13" wheels, as opposed to the standard 12" x 5.5" wheels. Twin carbies have been installed, noting that...

For Sale: 1978 1275LS. This is a very rare Australian mini, one of around 800 built, and one of around 400 built in the silver colour. Unfortunately the car has been in an accident as you can see by the images. Other than the damage caused by the accident, the car is in excellent condition. The damage may be repairable, however, there are a number of affordable LS shells which have come up for...

This 1275LS was last for sale in mid 2015, asking $15,000. The car has been restored to near original condition. It is unknown how many 1275 LS’s are still on the road, however, we have managed to collect the details of a decent number of cars on www.classicregister.com. If you have any information about any of the cars we have on this register, or would like to have your 1275 LS put on the...

About this LS: This is a very rare 1275LS mini - unfortunately reduced to just the shell. Many LS cars were parted out in the 90s for their desirable parts, such as 8.4" disc brakes and 1275cc motor. This shell was advertised online in early 2015, and has a fair amount of rust, but would make a great project. Unfortunately, LS engines are very hard to come accross, but it would be great to see the...

This LS was for sale in 2014/15, and has undergone a bare metal restoration. The car has been completely stripped back (originally was nugget Gold), and repainted in a ford orange. Other than the paint colour change, the car is largely original. Its a shame the colour was not kept original, but anyway, it makes for an interesting looking 1275LS. Engine was also fitted with a webber carby (stock...

We have had this LS since around 2005, after finding it for sale on a Mosman street in Sydney. It has had a large amount of work done to it prior to our purchase, and thankfully has been restored in its original Hi-Ho silver colour. A few other chromed bits and pieces in the engine bay, and extra painted parts too (they went with a bright blue theme on accessories). The car had hotwire mags, which...

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...

This is a particularly rare 998LS. Like the Nugget Gold 998 LS and the Green 998 LS, this one is believed to be one of 15 produced in this colour, to test the market prior to the launch of the 1275LS later in 1978. The Hi Ho Silver, and Nugget Gold colours obviously did well in the showroom, with those colours being selected for the final 1275LS. Other example of the green and gold mini 998 LS's...

This mini is a late model 998 LS, as indicated on its ID tag. 78 model 998 LS's had a similar ID tag to the 1275 LS, however, instead of an identification of XNFAD, they had an ID of XNFAB. The ID tag also did not specify "LS", as was the case with pre 78 models. This is my understanding of it, but please correct me if you know otherwise. Like the green 998 LS, this Gold LS is one of about 8 built...

This car, along with the nugget gold version of the 998 LS represent the most rare of all production mini's. This mini has clearly been restored in the original Iridium Dulux green, with gold stripes (as was also original). It is said that only approximately 8 of the green and 8 of the gold 998LS cars were manufactured, in order to test the waters for the upcoming 1275 LS. From my understanding...
