Does anyone know where i can get me some 1275 LS stripes? i have tries a few places, but to no avail. Trouble is, they've gotta be spot-on or the lettering in them looks shite.. HELP!

Have you got a sample to work with?

I've gotta get mine replaced, one is faded black and the other is brown!

Nah, and that's the trouble. There is nothing left of the originals. She's a silver example, so the car looks very plain without 'em.

Oh for sure! The stripes really finnish them, either a silver or gold one

there is a guy in Queensland who sells them from time to time on ebay. Problem is....I think it's the guy who was trying to flog Clubby 'Lexus Style' light lenses on here...... yea....you know the guy.....

Can't you just get them from a place like Karcraft or mini spares in Sydney

I don't know I don;t own an LS

If you go to a signwriters with good photos or some dimensions of proper stickers, they should be able to make something and put it on in the right spot fairly cheap, compared to originals.

I know a signwriter that used to own a 1275LS and he scanned the stripes so that he could cut them with a computer. They looked good, except he stuck black stripes on a gold car!
I will try to get in touch with him and see if he can ..
1) Cut some sets for people.
2) Make copies of the template.

id try mini clinic in padstow, they have all that sort of stuff, i know they had GT stripes...just be prepared to pay for the privalage, i dont think they would be cheap, but they are worthwhile, they will look great

i had a really mad idea for the stripes today that i passed on to stuwey, whaddyou guys reckon of instead of having the decals as black, you make them orange? well im really sold on the idea and i think Lizzie will get orange stripes (if swhes ever done!!)

where did i get the idea, think (ford) fpv gt's silver with orange wstripes....i reckon it would look awesome personally, a bit different...obviously not a standard look, but im getting really tired of the standard thing after Elmo

Must say I like it...But Viv and Elmo Red


Thats why we put the Short GT strips on Morris

I think it would look nice to do them in different colours. But not Orange on Silver!

Just to point something out to people who don't know. The 1275LS stripes came in two colours. The Hi Ho Silver cars had Black stripes and the Nugget Gold cars had Brown stripes.
A lot of gold cars have been redone with the wrong stripes because Leyland run out of the brown ones first!

When I had my gold LS resprayed in 1988 I went to Mini Kingdom and ordered a set of stripes. They called Leyland and they looked up the computer and said that they had two sets of brown stripes left and a heap of black ones. So I ordered the second last set of brown stripes. When they arrived I unpacked them in the store and one piece was missing. (the stripe kit had 3 pieces each side, the front guard, the door and the side panel) So they ordered the last set and that is what I stuck on my car.
Six months later the paint started falling off the car due to faulty paint! So they only lasted six months!

i know it sonds crap, but ornge on silver will look awesome IMHO

thats interesting about the brown stipes...

paint comming off the car....how leyland is that

Gaff. Elmo and Viv will always be red, it makes them go faster!

(btw anyone notice my avatat, i did it ALLLLL by myself...well i didnt photoshop the picture but i id all of the resizing myself...how clever am i
