Austin Mini 1974 1275 GT


Personally, I think it looks WRONG at the front.. Like a Reliant or something.
And I thought all 1275 GTs were clubman fronted?



That Blue is nice, though.

See Auction for full details..

Exactly!!

But if you look at the spec it lists the car a 998 with a 1275GT engine. The idea of listing a round nose car as a 1275GT, just because it allegedly has had a 1275GT engine under the bonnet, seems quite common on Ebay.

Is the 1275GT engine different to a 'normal' 1275 engine? I thought they were, but people just whacked on the 'GT' moniker to make it sound cooler

It is a lovely colour though

GT's have a different ratio gearbox - longer 1st and 2nd gears. Not too sure about the cam though?

It's got a KAT body kit fitted, straight from the 80s

bet that body kit helps loads in traffic in the summer

That mod is terrible, seriously i mean what the hell are thinking, its like looking at girl looking from the bottom working your way up..yeh really nice, nice curves etc, but come to the face ooops....






Had a stroke, Poor poor mini

I remember loving the clubman kat kit. I recall it being a lot more tasteful than the round nose version.
