that would be a 1275LS only came in gold or silver. I had one once. Disk brakes, 12" wheels.. nice.

No idea what its worth, same as another other 12" wheeled, disk braked 1275 mini of same vintage Id think ;)

a year later
it disappeared from their website
and i saw it for repairs
out the front of
Mini Spares Centre, Padstow

LS's are quite rare and especially in good condition.

Cam did sell his recently and if you can get hold of one it would be a good addition to anyones collection.

400 were made in Hi Ho Silver.
600 were made in Nugget Gold.

That one on ebay is a 1275 LS, lacking the side stripes (which IMO really finnishes them off!).

if it is all original, good nick, they are pullling in substantiall more dollars than any other clubman (except GT's, but not alot of them pop up for sale) i reckon if it is all as you say if the paint can come up with a buff and it is all original and good cnditin id sayy 8k would be very reasonable if you are going to sell it, even to buy it...they (as Jan said) a good thing for any mini person and i reckon they are a very desirable clubby (i WILL get shot down for saying this...) but the 1275LS was the most well rounded/competent mini to ever grace Australia....this includes the cooper s. (not as fast as a cooper s btw, but a much more sorted car...IMHO)

I Bought myself an original, 2 owner car, it had been a country car for a long time so there is NO rust, not a mark on the trim, but a recent respray due to the faded paint. it had done 92, 000 kms when i go it with a warm 1293, weber, 731(maybe) cam in it, :D correct block but not matching numbers :cry: I paid $8000 for it. Very neat car. they certainly were one of the best mini models in Australia, and also on of the rarest (especially in silver) hi-back seats are comfy, too.

Had a baby sh*t brown 78 1275LS myself. Seemed to have better sitting position than others.
