I think I may have found some everyday-runaround shoes for Tommy, while his steelies are being refurbed & kept for special days.
Secondhand gold minilites. 12" X 5".
You think he'll look pwetty?

Go for it! There was a black GT with gold minilites near where I used to live and it looked fantastic.

I didn't realise it was still possible to find unmolested cars like this nowadays - congrats!

I think I might just do that, yeerrrrss.......bling, but not too bling....

It's taken a while to find one. I've seen some shockers before I met Tommy.

There's no such thing as "too many minis", Andy-Pandy!!

I AM looking forward to driving him! The poor thing hasn't been on a road since 1993.
He's most definitely a boy. I've seen his winky.

Thank you Bean. I reckon he's a hottie. He's coming home on the 1st March (fingers crossed), but will hopefully go straight for surgery......

Nope.

**waits to be told that actually a few did as they were using old stocks of parts, producing different specs for different countries etc..**

[biggav]

ok.... my dad's gt did but they may have been added by someone else.

[Juju]

The Australian version of the GT, the Clubman GT had a twin carb Cooper S heart, I think, but not the UK 1275GT....

[mk3 Cooper S]

That is one nice genuine unmessed with GT.
Well done for finding him and the patience that it takes to wait for a gem especially when you have been looking at some shockers!!

Good on you. IMO Keep him standard and watch him appreciate in value, Don't bin the Denovo's, run him on something else and save them.

The idea is to get him back to how he was in 1979 when he rolled off the line.

Yes please!! There's a set on ebay at the mo as well, I might start collecting them & refurbishing them . Now, that would really please the other half.....
I want to run him on some boring alloys & use the denovos for special days. (Thank you Ethel for that tip... )
