Car Forum / MINI / August 2006Australian built minis
I just got hold of a Parts Manual for Australian built minis and they give a very useful break down of engine numbering codes but only for 1098cc and 1275cc engines. Did any Australian built cars have 998's? Graham As i understand they started off with 850cc cars when BMC exported Knock down kits, when they started there own production they kicked off with imported 850 engines at times with twin carbs but soon went on to 1098 engines that were home cast, these later went in to the Clubman type 1100LS models, I have never come across literature mentioning 998 cars but i could be wrong...... >I just got hold of a Parts Manual for Australian built minis and they give >a very useful break down of engine numbering codes but only for 1098cc and >1275cc engines.

Thank you all. As usual, lots of information. So, what you're all saying is that a '78 Clubman Van would most likely have been a 1098. Yes? (I have the van without a motor.) Graham no, a late model Aussie Clubman van (after 1975) would be a 998 (but 1098's and 1275's fit if you need to get an engine - just remember to change the brakes if you go for a 1275)
