Hi guys this is in a barn on a farm where i work the guy told me its a 1275 gt but they also told me that the mini it came from didnt have any rust...... but rust is all it does have LOL  :gimme:   Ive recently bought my first project mini that is a 998 and thought this could be a welcomed upgrade as i could get it for almost nothing?

I can see yellow in there which denotes 998 bud, a picture of the back will confirm wheather or not its a 1275 or small bore, if theres two tappet chests at the back its a small bore, if theres nothing but solid block you could be onto a bargin for your project

Looks like a 998 to me, if the engine number starts 99 it is a 998 if it starts 12 it is a 1275
