I cannot find what the G means when it is used as the 2nd prefix of a body number.

ie YG2S1 YG2S2 etc. I know that the last number represents the model of car but I cannot find what the G means.

Where did you find that? I was looking through the Australian Mini and Moke book as well as other places and couldn't find it.

First prefix letter = Origin of Manufacture

Second prefix letter = Name
A= Austin
G= MG
H= Healey
M= Morris
W= Wolseley
K= Morris Cooper

Third prefix letter = (model) Cubic Capacity
L = up to 799cc
A = 800cc to 999cc
G = 1000cc to 1399cc
H = 1400cc to 1999cc
B = 2000cc to 2999cc
D = 3000cc up

4th prefix letter = Body type
N = 2 Seater Tourer
T = 4 Seater Tourer
W = Station Wagon
S = 4 Door Saloon
2S = 2 Door Saloon
X = Taxi

5th prefix letter = Series of Model. 2,3,etc. used to record a major change

So the YMA2S2 number means...
Y = Australia
M = Morris
A = 800cc to 999cc (in this case a 998cc)
2S = 2 Door Saloon (must be a mini!)
2 = Deluxe

Now the YG2S1
Y = Australia
G = 1000cc to 1399cc (in this case a 1098cc)
2S = 2 Door Saloon
1 = K

Yeah.. see that's why I am confused (or interested), because that page says that the 3rd prefix G is 1098cc - 1275cc.... and that the 2nd prefix G = MG. But further down they say that the G in YG2S1 is 1098cc - 1275cc.

The Australian Mini and Moke book has the 3rd prefix as 1008 to 1399cc and later the 2nd prefix as being associated with the Mini Van

It was the 3rd prefix on the MK1 (1275 Cooper S YKG2S2)

The MK2 range dropped the K moving it up to the second prefix (1275 Cooper S YG2S4)
