The standard distributor fitted to the MK II Cooper S and the Clubman GT was the Lucas 29D4 - part AYG175 - 62941090A. According to my research the first 70 Police specification MK II S's (SPO41) were fitted with a modified version of this distributor which had a white paint spot on the body as can be seen on the photo below of a distributor on one of my cars. Later SPO41 cars were apparently fitted with 29D4 part number AYG272. This may be Lucas part number 62941122B but I can't be sure.

Does anyone have a distributor in their car or on the shelf with AYG272 or 62941122B engraved on the body?

Give me a couple of days. I am heading up to my fathers place. The Bathurst car was a police pack and is Aug 70. Will check for you.

Here's my distributor that was in my Police GT block 1205/xxxx.
Don't know if it's the original one or not. Alot has happened in 42 years.
were all MKII s with or without vacume advance? This one has none. I have a 29d from an 1100s with VA.

Now with 2 extra ports!

All Cooper S Mk1 & 2, also GT had no vac advance.
All others did, until ~75 or 76 when the 998 Clubby started. These had a 43D (which is a 45D but no vac).
I don't recall what the 1275LS had, but probably the same deal as it was a smog motor.

Yes I have one has 6294122A 2 71 and Ayg0272 stamped on it

Most likley came out of my Aussie Clubman GT

I robbed a few bits off it when I sold it (had to $1200 short on my lawyers bill when I brought my first house) Sad day I tell you

What are you trying to figure out

Found the camera (with batteries)

You have confirmed what I was looking for, thank you (that the Lucas serial number matched AYG272).
Was your Clubman GT ex-NSW Police?

I hope it wasn't a Police GT

I doubt it it was pretty standard, for a GT

I robbed the disks, oil cooler and dizzy from it and I still have these parts

I forgot I had it until I looked in my bucket of Dizzys

Where they different from a 0175 series

Glad to be of help

An AYG272 is the same as a AYG175 except for different weights, springs and points. The AYG272 was only ever fitted to Police Specification MK II S's (SPO41) and Clubman GT's (SPO28), to my knowledge (that's what the documentation says).

It appears many (most?) SPO28 prepared Clubman GT's were not actually delivered to NSW Police but were sold off within the dealership, so evidence of Police use (holes for siren, two-way radio, etc.) will not be there.

Did your car have a handbrake warning light, 1 1/2" SU's with RamFlo air filters, and single piece heat shield?

Following is the Police Specification details for the Clubman GT from the Leyland parts catalogue:
