1275 LS's. The reason is simple, rust.
These cars were made in the last years of production and were never properly treated like the early cars were. I don't know if they got lazy or made the panels from rusty steel but they have more problems than others IMO.
Ask anyone you know with a clubman from 77/78 how much rust they have and I bet its more than age should suggest when compared to the early cars.
I've had a 78 Van and 71 Van, the rust in the 78 was worse and it had it in odd places such as the panel under the roof drip rail, the 71 just had it around the rear end (as they all do).

far as I'm aware and have searced the car throught except on the other side of the fuel tank only because I haven't removed it, there's only two tiny little holes in mine and a little spot rust that can easily be fixed.
however proper 850's are bound to be rarer if its all original.
