He's completely original, right down to his dunlop denovo roll-flats . He has all his documents, including the original BL brochures
Interior is mint.
Some welding is needed, but the rear pans are solid.
Boot is pristine.
Engine is crusty, clutch seized, but most of the electrics work fine (we even picked up German radio on his little stereo )
Rear subby may need some attention, but the front seems OK.
He's a bit shy and has been hiding in a garage for the past 15 years, but he will soon be trailered to Surrey to be restored to his former glory.
What do you guys reckon? For a 29 year old, I fink he's a bit of alright............

Yay you finally got a 1275gt
Looks alright ! Cant wait to see the restoration !
Glad you like him!
Looks good, what are your plans, a full resto or a quick return to the road?
It even suits the nudge bars
I like the nudge bars. They're staying.
Plans are:
1. Get him back on the road & MOTd...hopefully by the Summer (if we have one )
2. Rolling road.
3. Once he's mobile I can work on him myself & get him back to as near showroom condition as I can afford.

You'll have to get him a set of 'playing out' wheels 'n save them for Sunday best, God knows where you'd find replacement tyres nowadays
They're going, Eff. I don't trust them after 29 years. Mr Juju told me a horror story about an MG with original runflats on the way home. Fresh tyres is safer, I reckon.
