SUMMARY
Delightful 1275 S, carefully restored and re-trimmed with the emphasis on keeping the car as close as possible to its original specification.
DESCRIPTION
- Originally supplied by Stewart and Arden of Acton, it was acquired in 2004 in a sorry state by our vendor who renovated/rebuilt it over the next ten years with the help of Mini specialists, Janspeed
- The original shell was largely beyond repair so it has been built around an age-related donor shell utilising panels from the original car
- The emphasis during the rebuild was to represent the car as 'standard' resisting the urge to fit period and non-period modifications
- All the relevant parts from the original car were transferred including the piano-hinge rear side windows, chrome-plated gear lever and of course, the 130mph speedometer
- The interior is trimmed in new Tartan Red/Gold Brocade Grey from Newton Commercial and it has reclining front seats
- Mechanically, the car is standard Cooper 1275 S and it sits on standard ventilated steel 10" wheels
- Only deviations from standard-spec are a conversion from Hydrolastic to dry/rubber cone suspension for ease of maintenance going forward, a smaller diameter steering wheel (original size supplied) and a 'fly-off' type handbrake
- The original jack and handbook are with the car as is its BMIHT Heritage Certificate
