Even at another £10,000 less I think it will still struggle to sell.

Hard to tell if tacho and oilpressure is the correct Veglia Bressel ones.
Bit of a shame there isnt any pictures of enginebay, or drivshafts.
But looks nice, and now guessing the wheels are factory ones.

Depends where its made Veglia Bressel gauges are (was?) made in Spain. Kind of like the rest of the car.
Think of it as a Spanish Mk3 Cooper S, cheaper version!
Authi 1275 GT is the name.

Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
This is indeed an Authi Mini 1275GT from Spain, the steeringwheel is correct. The rev counter was also original on this type and it was an hydrolastic Mini.Mini Mad Swede wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 4:28 pmBit older than mine then.

Well, the steeringwheel in my -73 Authi 1275 GT does not look like that! Only has two spokes!UHR850 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 9:57 amThis is indeed an Authi Mini 1275GT from Spain, the steeringwheel is correct.

And yes they are hydrolastic, hence why I wrote they are like a Mk3 Cooper S'
A couple of bits from the Authi 1275 GT spec are: Low compression 1275cc with remote gearbox, twin HS2 SU's, 7,5" discbrakes, the 1" wider rear drums, 200km/h speedo, and what the S' didnt have but this has is a tacho.
Oh and the weird driveshafts!
Sadly its hard to find much correct info about these. Searching the net about Authi's is not impossible, but gets you to loads of links to 'normal' Mini's.
