I saw this on ebay before....

I say it's not a real 1275 LS.

Wrong colour
Wrong trim (seat trim AND door cards)
No grille lights
Grille badge is incorrect
Incorrect wheels
etc

My money says its a stokko 78 Clubby (modified)

it does look to have *some* LS bits though. it has the right seats, though they have obv been recovered (see the release in one of the pix). also has the extra switch in the wiper control panel, and the Park Brake/Brake Fail lights, and tacho.

those door trims could be original out of the nuggett gold LS perhaps ...

All available in standard clubby. Kev's sons clubby has all those bits and its an S.

All very late seats were like that too. Bolted to the TOP of the Xmember.

Internal bonnet release wasn't std on LS, AFAIK- I was working on the boss's 3 cylinder 1275LS today, it's got a stock release like any Clubby.
(#4 plug was oiled up... so I pulled the plug lead 1/2 way off until it caught fire again..) :wink:

hmmmmmmmm, well. the interior colours are off a nugget gold LS, (bar the green of course)
it shouldnt have foggies as its a 1275 (only 998's came with spotties).
the gauge binnacle is also off 1275LS (only they had the extra Alt and Oil lights
you see those two round lights...) has the centre roof aerial and does not look to
be a covering over the old spot if it had of been on the guard.

i dunno, my money is that it could be. the best way to tell is obviously the vin number
and eng number. curious as to why he didnt list. but, well. caveot emptor (or however you spell buyer beware in latin :lol:

I'm more interested in the 13x6 wheels on there in what appears to be stock flares compared to those sportspack arches or similar.
