*Superb example
*Low mileage
*Fully restored in 2018
*Featured in Mini Magazine
This 1970 Mini 1275 GT is a beautiful low mileage example, and has been fully restored to the highest of standards. The vendor is a Mini enthusiast and has taken care to make sure the car is kept original. Outside, the car received extensive work including replacement metalwork and a full respray in the car's original Antelope beige colour scheme. Correct period fittings were then added to the car, such as a new wing mounted aerial, black vinyl GT stripes, chrome door mirrors, and GB graphic on the boot lid. Inside, the original seats and door cards were retrimmed in the correct basket weave material, with further additions such as new carpets, a factory leather bound three spoke steering wheel, original GT binnacle and toggle switches. Mechanically, the engine was completely reworked, restored and tuned by Peter Baldwin. The car also received a new exhaust, radiator and wiring loom. The suspension was also refurbished with a new rear subframe and refurbished front, along with new dampers, bushes and fittings. New front disc brakes and rear drums were also fitted all-round. The restoration was completed to such a high standard that the car was featured in Mini Magazine. Overall, this Mini is in excellent condition and has only covered 62,000 miles since new. The car runs and drives very well and should provide much enjoyment to a new owner.
