1971 Austin Mini 1275 GT. Vermillion with Original Beige Stripe cloth upholstery. In 1969 under the ownership of British Leyland, the Mini was given a facelift by stylist Roy Haynes, who had previously worked for Ford. The restyled version was called the Mini Clubman, and has a squarer frontal look, using the same indicator/sidelight assembly as the Austin Maxi. A more sporting model with the 1275cc single-carburettor 59bhp engine, dubbed the 1275 GT, was slated as the replacement for the 998 cc Mini Cooper (the 1,275 cc Mini Cooper S continued alongside the 1275 GT for two years until 1971). This GT has been with its last owner for 11 years and during this time he has covered just 6,000 miles. The car having just 6 previous owners in its 51 year lifetime. The car has has a few subtle upgrades but still retains its original cloth striped interior that was unique to this model and still in great condition. The car presents very well having just had a new dashboard and carpets fitted, new front shock absorbers, battery, plugs, leads and new tyres having covered less than 100 miles, this is all documented in the cars history folder along with other bills, invoices and old mot certificates. An expensive insurance approved remote alarm has also been installed. The paintwork still displays a good lustre with just a couple of small age related marks but certainly nothing that detracts from the overall look. The chassis is very strong and the underside of the car is in body colour with no unsightly black under seal. On the road the car is still very sprightly and performed well easily keeping pace with modern traffic driving just as it should. Although now tax and mot exempt a fresh mot will be applied upon sale for your own peace of mind. With pristine 1275 GT’s now demanding upwards of 25K and early cars now becoming very rare we see this as a great value car to join the Classic Mini community. Absolutely any inspection welcome.
