Looking at a few pics of 1275 ls minis i have noticed that some are sporting the 1275 badge on their grille, is this something i should have in keeping with originality or have a few owners stuck em on the front for something to do. Veera doesnt have one

Well mine had one on the grille until a couple of weeks ago,until some "chinese person" decided they wanted it more than I did I'm now looking around for another one!

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.

we need sports850 to show a publicity poster.... the one in Mini Minor Downunder has one, but it doesn't have a 1275 badge

did I tell you that I won a trophy?

There was never one FACTORY on the grill, only on the boot

Never is very strong position to take. I have pics here with 1275 on the grill of a clubbie at Zetland. I just need to dig it up.

So maybe - rarely or just for testing may be more appropriate, but never, never!

Sorry i may be incorrect, I know they were fitted to the bootlids but i may be confusing the LS with the 1275 badge on the grill of a Moke. Old age catching up with me i guess.

BUT as BIAM says, never say never, i have seen a lot of LS's with that badge on the grill.

Thanx Guys, her grill shall remain as is

Does some kind person on here know somewhere in the East where I can purchase a 1275 Badge,as I have two holes in the grille to put something in there?

The pics in the press 1275 LS cars didn't have the badges on the grill - just the boot - according to both Wheels and Motor Manual.

As an aside, when I was rummaging through some of the magazines I saw a Sports Car World (July 1973) that compared a Nota Fang with a Honda Civic. Bizarre!

Apparently, they wanted to compare the Fang with a Clubman GT, but were upset because Leyland had stopped making them.....

I haven't got a scanner so I can't put it up here unfortunately.

The badges are available on UK eBay, or have been in the past.

cheers!
