would these nos be correct i havent han a mini for thirty years but i am looking at purchasing a nice one hope you can steer me in the right direction many thanks gary

9fsa doesn't say 1275 engine to me.
So it's half an S at best.

ykg2523874 Should be ykg2s23874, you can read the plate in the photo, the description is wrong.

This seems a good site for most things "S"

Lots more there if you look around.

9F/Sa/Y IS a Mk1 S motor.

Good luck

The 9F engine prefix was used for ALL Cooper engines irrespective of capacity. ie 997,998,970,1071,1275. There is one exception. UK MK3 cars used a 12H? prefix. OZ CubmanGT used 1200 on S engined cars when the last of the 9FXEY MK2 S units were used up and 1206 on the non S engined cars.
This engine prefix doesn't follow the usual sequence of 8, 9, 10 etc. presumably because the first 997 engined cars used 9F and the others retained the same prefix.
The "F" means twin carb engine. eg. MG1100 GT cars with the twin carb 1275 non S engine used a 12FA prefix.

According to the Gary Norwood list, there exists a similar veehical which appears to be it's immediate predecessor off the Zetland production line......................

Given the near identical colours & trim, I put my house on it being genuine. At $10k, it would be a snap.

To Gary

I believe that this is correct for a Mk1 Cooper S, all the numbers fall into the correct area according to the data I have. If I was in the market for one, I'd be going for it.

To miniron

There was another exception, my 998 Cooper (and others) has an engine number 9YSaH****
