Hi all, recently aquired a hiho silver 1275 LS. Does anyone have a list of production body numbers? I got it registered today and the bloke at licensing told me it was the very last LS off the line :shock: Would like to check this for myself even though this guy is a guru in the mini scene here in Perth

It is matching numbers and has the original paperwork etc

Thanks
Jason

Was this mini maxs?

The last one as I understand is in the birdwood museum.

I believe the last ones ( not sure how many) has a special plate on the dashpad saying they were one of the lasy produced. ( I think it have been last 50)

Thanks for that, it doesnt have the original dashpad unfortunately, someone has removed it and put a standard (no warning lights) one in with speakers screwed to it :(

Wasnt mini max's. This one came from victoria about 2 years ago and sat in a guys garage here in Perth all that time. Fairly sure the car is on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NmKEbjS ... ata_player had the same window sticker and sounds just like

It may be the last group but not the last one.

Mine is XNFAD18Y/102918 and was built in July.

I believe the very last ones were from october and have the numbers
XNFAD18Y/105XXX

I'll also have a stab that the construction timelines were:

102XXX July
103XXX August
104XXX September
105XXX October

If anyone can confirm that or has a car that doesnt agree (103XXX from July or September for example) then let us know.

One of these days I'll set up a number list to collate the info. How hard could that be :lol:

There is a member here who always takes offence when these particular numbers are put up.

The Factory Records show the last Mini produced in Australia was Body Number XNFAD18Y/105303. This was a 1275 LS.

Maybe you can show us your factory records and back up your facts for once?

I dont know who you are referring to but I am not sure if that would be the case in this instance. I am only interested in the month and the /105 /104 bit etc. not the whole number.

If it is it is a bit irrational.

For the record, my Silver 1275LS is 104956 and I found the seat belts were marked as October 78 :)
I guess it really is special :wink:

I used to own the 4th last.

It was 105281 and had the dash plaque. I believe only the last 10 "produced for sale" had the Dash plaques.

I did a bit of a search for my car here and it had a bit of a sad ending.

There's also some disscussion about the last cars and body numbers also so worth a read.

Yeah I have watched your thread. Nice work. You'll enjoy the sunroof. They were a very clever design the way they used the engine vacuum to collapse the seal. Only thing to watch is to wait a few minutes for the seal to come back up or a sudden stop and it slammed closed.
