1973 Morris Mini 1275 GT

Remarks

Recently been sat in my workshop and got a bit dusty. This honestly presented Morris Mini 1275 GT is a solid example of the ‘70s British classic, which requires a cosmetic and mechanical restoration. The car is noted to show corrosion on the driver’s door, It is noted to start, run and move. Its factory specification includes a Black Tulip finish with red Mini 1275 GT side stripes. It sits on 10-inch four-stud steel wheels shod in Goodyear and Dunlop tyres.

Remarks

Red vinyl-trimmed interior with matching red carpets and a black dashboard. It sits on 10-inch four-stud steel wheels shod in Goodyear and Dunlop tyres. The basic specification includes reclining seats, dark tinted laminated glass, basic heating and ventilation controls, electric wipers, and a heated rear screen.

Remarks

Good working order. Under the bonnet is a 1275cc A-series inline-four engine, originally producing around 59bhp, with front-wheel drive via a four-speed manual transmission, we have change plugs points new fuel now running, on the vehicle.

Remarks

Good.

Remarks

The tyres are 30 years old and therefore should be replaced. This car’s very low mileage and reported originality make it an excellent basis for a thorough restoration, when the next owner could choose to retain as much ‘patina’ as possible, or could refurbish every inch of the car to transform it to a concours-ready example.

Remarks

Good.

Remarks

This example is noted to have had a single owner from new up to this year, and has spent the last 30 years tucked away in the last owner's garage. The odometer shows a very modest 15,329 miles, and when I purchased the car he was told this was the genuine total from new, so to the best of my knowledge this is correct. There are marks on all panels from having been stored for 30 years. Inside, excellent condition. The car has sat unused for 30 years, we have change plugs points new fuel now running, on the vehicle. The vehicle is understood to be exempt from mandatory MOT testing due to its age. We removed the car from its storage, drained the fuel tank and refilled it with fresh fuel to check that it runs and moves, it comes with no paperwork or service history.
