I am very tempted. Can you experts see anything obviously wrong with this set?

[Oneball]

Irrespective of the guff, why’s it got a mk2 interior?

Another Black Tulip GT, low miler by the looks of it ..

Loads of pictures here Pre barn dust lol

Looks in pretty good shape just a few alarm bell's or maybe alarm bells is a bit strong maybe inconsistencies is a better word

[rolesyboy]

I love the fact that the new seller has lobbed a load of barn dust over it since it sold in August this year. Marketing at its most creative

[Pete]

Possibly used a few pots of this , they don’t look that big! Looks a nice car to be fair but spotted the hole on the front of the O/S sill which would usually mean further rot. Been flipped before through a dealer so must have been cheap to start with

[Old English White]

Haha. What will somebody think of next!

[tweedy998]

Good Lord, that 1275GT with freshly applied 'barn dust'! I've seen it all now!

[Metronick]

And another, rare 1970 hydro car in Antelope….

The early GT's are fabulous.

You've seen one Mark 1 S and you've pretty much seen all of them. Bitsas with invented history and a thick layer of bullshit - it's bordering on tedious.

But these GT's......you can almost taste the history. They're the real thing.

Last weeks 'Bangers and Cash' auction episode on TV said 'barn find' cars fetch more money if they have a good layer of dust on them.

They also said sometimes they come back to auction a few weeks later cleaned up and sell for a lower price.....

I know what you mean, my Dad’s had a slightly mouldy Iced Gem stuck on the parcel shelf.

Seems odd how there's so many 1275gt's up for sale at the moment, always seemed to be slim pickings.

I can only assume that now they are sort after behind early Coopers, people are taking the opportunity to cash in!

They’re just catching up on desirability. You couldn’t give a Clubman type Mini away years ago. There’s probably not many left. I bought a yellow 69 in the 1990s. We took the engine out with a torch and threw the rest in the bin.

[mk1]

Now thee have been a couple of examples of Clubman GT's making Cooper S type money, it is inevitable that a few owners will choose to cash in.

Will they ever be as desirable as a good Cooper S, personally, I doubt it, but each to their own.

Anybody know anything about this one, other than its shell looks like its been well filleted before lots of new panels have been let in to rebuild the it.
Looks a nice one on the face of it

"Work carried out to the highest standard" "A matching set of Camac tyres". Two sentences seldom placed together
Tyres aside, that looks a decent car. Nice to see one with Hydrolastic retained too. Quite a fan of the Mk2.

[Peter Laidler]

Looks like a Mk1 type pointed speedo bezel too. Or is it camera angle.....?

[bryan]

Yes, I agree it could be the wrong bezel - good spot .
The actual speedo is right though. The rest of the car looks pretty correct I think, and skilfully restored
