Read this article ` smallbore part 1' by Graham Russell... sums it up well.

Then, go back and read his parts 2 and 3 too. Or buy TME magazine, see The Mini Experience forum in ausmini if you wish to subscribe or get back issues.. :wink:

Sure, 1275 is nice-will give more torque & power easily if you have one already, but they cost more do$h to buy if you don't.
Rebuild costs for a 1098 and 1275 are similar.

Remeber though, 1275 requires disc brakes! Which are a good thing to have but cost more money on top of that. If you have 12inch (or bigger) wheels you can get a set of 8.4 discs at a reasonable price but if your like me and have 10inch whee;ls for got to fork out for 7.5 discs which cost more, generally. But I think the cost of buying 12inch mags and tyres + 8.4s is more than a set of 7.5s, remember that.

Hey Slinkey (or anyone else who can answer this)

How come the 7.5 discs are more exxy than the 8.4s?

My newly acquired Deluxe has discs - I've yet to actually give it a proper once over so I dunno what size they are but its running on 10s so i *guess* they're 7.5s (plus i dunno much about the mechanical side of things heh heh heh :oops: :roll: ) But after all these years of disuse they'll need a fair bit of work to make them useable again i figure...

Cooper S tax. :lol:
Yes the S calipers etc are still made, but in short production runs which probably adds cost.
No other reasons I can think of, apart from greed and avarice..... :wink:
