1275 GT

Im thinking about getting another mini and I want something quick. There doesn't seem to many/any cooper S's around so I was contemplating looking for a 1275GT? A friend of nine had on in the 80s and I always thought it was really cool? Anyone got any advice about these cars or even one for sale?

the only advantage, you have enough place to fit an eight port.

always had a soft spot for the early ten inch wheel ones, in typical lurid early 70's colours

They are fast appreciating now and pushing the £5k bracket it would appear without problem

Nice early GT's or just nice unmolested GT's are getting just as rare as Coopers nowadays , 10" wheel cars are about the same money as early Mk1 850s. Do your homework Dean before parting with any wonga, gen up on trim (different than Clubman) etc etc.

I have a 76 GT solid condition with original interior(not currently fitted) in "Antique Gold" really retro - doubt you will find another?
I have a set of 10" rostyles too.

May part with it, needs a recommission as been in my garage a few years and a repaint,

76, had they not moved over to 12's by then ?

I thought the gt's went on to 12 inch wheels when rod change came in.

Like that colour as well

where in the country are you ? miles away likely lol

they went onto 12" when the frames went to single bolt, so back end of 1976

April 1974 was the change from 10"s to 12"s

Rod change = around a year & some months earlier = late 72/early 73.

Single bolt = as pr std Mini = 1976 (together with the larger pedals)

Me and my friend are of the opinion, that unmolested GT's soon will become as desirable as Cooper's early ones certainly

Everyone needs a 1275 GT at some point, I get to put this one back together soon.
