Hi everybody! This is my first time writing on the site but i have looked at a few articles before. Could anybody help me to identify the mini i have? It is a 1977 clubman sedan.The chassis number makes it look like a 998cc mini using the list posted on this site but the engine is a 1275. I know it could of had a engine swap but it has a factory tacho-it looks like it it a factory setup dash. It also has small fibreglass flares, front disk brakes and dual tanks. What the hell car have i got? any help would be appreciated.

hey mate, welcome to ausmini!

Pics would be a great help (email them to me if you cant put them on here [email protected] ), and everyone would love to see it anyway. Hope to hear more from you!

I don't know my name anymore.

i dont have a digital camera at the moment, i will have to get one. Any idea on what the mini is? it looks like a clubman gt no badges except a boot badge. Where do i start as i am looking at a full rebuild but if it is a bitza then i wont go the full deal. just a tidy up.

best bet would be to contact anton ( JAM_IT ) for info on GT's, as he's the resident expert. Czerial would also be a great help, he just knows clubbys in general.

It looks like a 1275ls as well. Buy i didnt think they were made until 1978. How do i contact the people mention in the reply? I am not the most computer literate person out there. Much appreciated.

GT was only built from Sept 1971 to late 1972. If yours really IS a 1977, then forget it being a real GT.

Sounds like a mock up GT, with some of the right bits.

Sounds like a Mini S with a 1275. (1977 Mini S had tacho and flares with a 998)
What is the first bit of the vin number (something like 022 D2S1 MO9)
What is the first bit of the engine number (something like 12Yd/Ta/H or 12H) If you can post the numbers I can de-code them.

It could very well be! It's green. Thanks for the info I'll check it out. It's possible county council/electricity commission same cars.

I really think it's great where us weird mini likers get to hang out and talk mini stuff like taking the skin off our knuckles everytime we change our points and plugs

I all up have spent about 8 years working on mini's and look forward to sharing my experiences
