Here we have a rare Mini 1275 GT finished in denim blue metallic with grey stripey interior. It is unusual to find a GT in such unmolested condition and as such this is a great opportunity to purchase an example with a sensible reserve price.
Recently recommissioned after a period of storage at a cost of nearly £3,000, it now runs as it should and comes with the benefit of an MOT through to October 2025. Only 1 previous owner with the first owner keeping the GT from new until 2021.
82,000 miles with original sales invoice from Wadham Stringer (Clintons) in Sidcup dated 17th May 1979 confirming a purchase price of £3496.99 - which included a number of desirable options, some of which are still fitted or come with the car, including a temporary windscreen, rear fog light, radio and door dead locks. We also have the Heritage Certificate for the Mini confirming this as a proper 1275 GT model. The original Dunlop Denovo wheel trims still feature although the Mini sits now on 12 inch steel wheels./
The Mini also features a really useful Webasto sunroof and twin tanks.
Reconditioned engine fitted in 2006 at a cost of £1,025 - bill on file.
Very original and unspoiled, one to use and enjoy.
The Mini is HPi clear. We have the V5C plus various invoices including the aforementioned original order form, which is a nice touch plus the original Supercover wallet, Owner's Manual and Speical Tuning booklet.
Overall a very tidy and usable example ready to go!
