So few come up, but we're tracking them when they do.. Another 1257 LS on the register, finished in Hi-Ho Silver... Heading toward 3 digit numbers on the register. This one was asking $28,500 in September 2022 - a fairly reasonable amount for a limited edition car. The seller noted in the original ad: "Hi ho silver exterior and a very original interior in nice condition. Twin SU's and she goes...

Yet another NZ Warrior GT has survived - of the 200 cars that were delivered to NZ, I'm consistently surprised that we discover new ones up for sale all the time. This one was spotted on Trademe NZ with a starting bid at $40,000 in August 2022. It Looks to be fairly original and complete, but has obviously had an engine tidy up at some point. In the original advertisement, the seller noted the...

It has been a long time since I've seen a good 998 LS for sale, and this has to be one of the best I've seen. Asking $25,000 in August 2022, this Nugget Gold example looks exceptionally original, even retaining its velour cloth intact! All features are correct for this late model Australian special edition. Although its estimated around 400 nugget gold 1275 LS cars were built, I think there would...

South African Leyland Mini GTS with a special custom body kit!

Found this 1275 LS project on Gumtree Australia in May 2022, asking $6,000 ONO. Looks like a fairly original example with most bits there. One of the last Australian Minis, this one is an October 1978 built car. See the others on the register - approaching 100 of these great limited edition 1275 Minis. The seller noted "Has back windows in the back of car ready for install. Keys in ignition."...

Shannons has some great examples come through its auctions, and this upcoming auction ( link here) has a claimed super low-mileage example of the 1275 LS. Looks to be in fantastic original condition and claims to only show 1000km on the clock.. You have to remember, however, that the odometer on these cars does stop & reset at 100,000km, and by the look of the condition, it may have done that, but...

This 1275 LS was on gumtree in February 2020, asking $23,490 - not too bad considering many standard Leyland Minis are around this price (although, they's have to be fully restored to ask it).. Interestingly, the original 1275 unit has been replaced with a Cooper S 1275 unit, with twin carbs and finished in the proper green and all. The car otherwise looks wonderfully original, with the correct...

An excellent original example of the 1275 LS. Recently purchased in Adelaide. Car originally purchased in Ballarat VIC but then moved to Sydney NSW before being transported to South Australia Matching numbers car that comes with original paperwork and is generally untouched. In original condition apart from a number of tasteful modifications (stage 1 kit including air filter and exhaust, new...

Spotted this 1275 LS for sale on Gumtree Australia in QLD, asking $34,500. Looks like it was originally nugget gold in colour (per the engine bay shot), and has since been changed to hi-ho silver - although I note it has the correct red trim... So I'm really not sure what's going on! Anyway, another for the register which I assume I don't have yet.. Check out the original advertisement here.

This August complied 1978 LS was advertised on Gumtree Australia in January 2021, asking $28,000 AUD. Looks like a solid car, that has had a repaint and re-trim at some stage, so little to spend on the body work.. We have around 90 1275 LS cars on the register now (and even more in the offline register). Check out the others below. See the original gumtree advertisement here.

We know these all too well, but it surprises me how many NZ Mini Clubman GTs (the Australian ones) have survived - there were less than a couple of hundred exported there. This one has had a lot spent, and was advertised on trademe.co.nz in December/January 2021, asking for a $50,000 starting bid. Check out the original listing here.
