If it's 1978 as claimed it can't be either an ss or a sunshine ...

I say 1978 base model mini 1100 with a webasto style sunroof and it has had a right hand tank at some stage .

Weren't the 1100 engines ditched in 73/74 for emissions reasons? The engine has been changed too in that case.

I see;
Webasto style sun roof,
LS contessa mags,
The grill just looks like a Leyland mini bog std item,
What are the high back seats from? mini S :? same with the steering wheel,
I wouldn't mind seeing the compliance plate and engine number...
