Just reading this advert on ebay, the seller claims (im sure they are Ausmini members) that there are only 30 1275LS's left in existance???

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MINI-LS-1275-Gen ... dZViewItem

Im part owner in the 11th last 1275LS built, with Aaron, so basically im wondering how many are still around, Chris Z can you help out?

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

Very bold indeed, I don't believe it.

But as an aside the LAST 1275LS is kept at the Birdwood Motor Musuem, where Hotbricks have their annual 'do'.

It's in Hi-Ho silver, (respray, looks 2-pac).

i knew there wasnt many left on the road but 30 not too sure bout that
hey if its true it can only be good news for those of us that own one
theres also a nugget gold one for sale on the mcc website for 12 500
which when i was selling mine is what i was after
this might make me hurry up and finsish the engine and get her back on the road
might do the same for you ey doogie if a standard 1275ls sells for thats whats one worth with a stamped production number??
cheers bob

less than 30 could mean that there are less than 30 on the register? perhaps. nice looking car ether way

I don't buy the only 30 left bit, my boss has 3....
They are still more common than you think, IMO.

Maybe he's thinking of Hillman Imps left in Oz, where that number IS close.

Maybe Tony is referring to what is in Qld. I still had one on the road up till four years ago that has since been scrapped along with the spare nugget gold one, both 1980 models.

seller is 'Convertible Mini' and has been flogging that same car for well over a year. 2 maybe?

30 remaining? Hilarious!!!

1980 models!!!!! i don't think so, production ended in 1978.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

BIGBAD is a 1275LS

Chris Z has another..

That means i can see 11 just in this thread..

I reckon I've seen thirty individual 1275LS in the last 10 years. There are at least three in Geelong alone (including Poeee's).

PRESERVE THE 850'S PEOPLE!

One day they really will be rarer than S's...
