I have searched both on google and ausmini and cant find an answer.

How can you tell if a mini is an original 1275 ls?

Is it as simple as matching up numbers? If so what should I be looking for?

I am on the hunt for one and have noticed that some people are selling them as 1275 ls however they no longer have the strip down the sides.

if you see one without stripes it could still be a 1275 ls just had a respray
especially the gold ones as im pretty sure chop chop makes the stripes for silver ls but not for gold if you want any reference pics to compare i can send you some of mine
still original paint and all
cheers bob

It is very rare to see a 1275LS with original paint. The late Minis rusted badly and the metallic paints faded awful.
Even the last 1275LS in the Birdwood museum has had repairs. 8)
