1972 Mini 1275 GT

This 1972 GT has been advertised on Ebay UK for a while now, and looks to be an immaculate restoration of this early example. Asking GBP 34,995, it's not cheap, and it's no Cooper S - but if the GT is your thing, there's probably not many better examples of the series 1 GT out there. See the original listing here.

The seller stated in the original advertisement that this is a matching numbers example and was retrieved from storage in 2019 when they embarked on a full restoration, with the mandate to preserve originality wherever practical. This included a full mechanical refurbishment using as many original components as possible, the original engine and gearbox have been fully rebuilt, new clutch, brakes, master cylinder, brake and fuel lines all replaced, the original Sundym glass with opening rear quarter lights refitted with new rubbers, the exterior finessed with new old stock genuine GT bumpers, and the original 10” wheels have been refurbished, wet painted and shod with period-correct 165/70R10 steel-belted tyres supplied by ‘Blockley’ using their new moulds and tooling specific for this classic. 

Quite an example and one of few early GT survivors. Check out the other 1275 GTs on Classic Register via our search, and for more information, see our 1275 GT information guide here.
