I too have a mini S but does not say S on the compliance plate. However over on the other side near the radiator mine says mini S on the tyre data panel.

Wanting to confirm that I have a Mini S as it does not actually say it on the Compliance Plate. Using this as a reference it looks like it is http://www.minis.com.au/page5/page5.html Engine number starts with 99H889AJH Body number on Compliance Plate starts with XNHAB18Y Although it just says Leyland Mini on the plate. Should it have an S as well? Can anyone shed any light on this? |

I wouldn't bother with that online "how to identify your Mini" list as it is full of mistakes. Your car is a late Mini S built after they changed the code system in April 78. The code letter that says what level of trim (Mini, Mini S or Mini LS) is the third letter. On your car it is a H which equals the Mini S. Don't worry about the lack of an S on the compliance plate as they didn't bother stamping the different models only the car at that stage of production. (The 1275LS only says Mini too) |

Thanks for the info. Yep it is a June 78. I have had the car for nearly a year and I only just noticed today that there was no S on the Compliance Plate. Happy now. |

Of course yours is an S. It has one of my ignition kits fitted to it so it is "S" for Special. |
