Strange it didn't sell...

It has probably got a ridiculous reserve on it.

For sale at £5000 less....

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

Ha, ha. . . . . . Good luck!

Bit older than mine then. Wrong steeringwheel, wrong tempgauge.
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.

Not to mention the wrong front end!

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.

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.

The front end is absolute correct for this type of Authi Mini 1275GT.

Well, the steeringwheel in my -73 Authi 1275 GT does not look like that! Only has two spokes!
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.
Like Pinterest
Parnell book has two pages, but few pictures.

I got my info from Ricardo from Spane.
