Mini Ogle SX 1275 GT By Nostalgia Cars UK Ltd For Sale | | | http://www.nostalgiacars.co.uk |
Breaking free of its Jaguar replica origins, Nostalgia Cars has launched this Mini-based kit! If that doesn't quite sound right, then you need to understand that this isn't just any Mini based creation, but an identical recreation of the wonderful Ogle Mini of the early sixties. This ultra rare special was only ever produced in turnkey form and of the 66 cars produced, it is thought just twenty-six remain.
The New Ogle SX1275 is as close to being an identical as is possible. Using a brand new Mini floor pan produced and strengthened by Nostalgia in accordance with the original Ogle design specification. A new fiberglass body shell is bonded to the strengthened structure to complete the assembly. The resulting monocoque is exceptionally rigid and is supplied to the customer in a grey primer gel-coat finish.
Further more the New Ogle SX 1275 GT has the full backing of Ogle Noor Design the original design company & Nick Ogle the late David Ogle’s son. We are also continuing chassis numbers from where Ogle left off. To sum up this is no replica this is the real deal & not merely a clone badged as something else.
The Ogle SX 1275 GT is a small car. But it’s a small car that looks great and goes well – a perfect combination of styling and cost efficient use of proven mechanical parts. A small car with numerous engine options. A small car that will give you real comfort and smooth quiet motoring in a very eye catching body shape. A small car that will impress the enthusiast with its brisk performance and aerodynamic shape. A small car with ease of parking but on the open road can leave most others in its wake.
There are people who care about these things, people who want something different. It is for these people that Nostalgia Cars exists today. The skill of David Ogle and his design engineer, Mr. Johnson enabled them to give birth to David Ogle’s dream. The original ‘Ogle’ was designed and built by two people seeking perfection, the same perfection that the team at Nostalgia Cars UK Ltd seek today.
In replicating that dream, Nostalgia Cars has matched the beauty of line with current modern production practices. The reputation of the Mini mechanical components, in all its guises, is already well known. Floor pan assembly and body production is carried out with an attention to detail only available on individually hand crafted cars. As previously indicated, the Ogle 1275 GT is of monocoque construction using a newly manufactured fully strengthened Mini floor pan to which a body of hand laid GRP finished in gel coat primer is bonded prior to dispatch to the customer.
Builders will be able to enjoy full back-up and the support which we provide for all of our customers. Surprise yourself by discovering all the exciting options that you can build into your very own piece of history - now the NC Coupe revives that dream held so fondly by David Ogle and his engineer in 1960
In replication, the New Ogle sx1275 GT floor pan is strengthened in such a way that it is indistinguishable from the original ‘Ogle’ design. The only exception being the inclusion, for safety reasons, of roll-cage mountings. This brand new floor pan is fully jigged and produced ‘in house’. A natural progression for the Company following many years of being involved in total mini body restoration for UK Concourse and the Japanese market.
Each new floor pan is built to take the later type ‘single bolt, dry’ front sub-frame. Corrosion protection is provided using Waxoil cavity injection. Finally etch primer and two pack enamel are applied to provide a lasting, durable finish.
The replica body which is hand laid by our expert GRP fabricators to the exact dimensions of the ‘Ogle’ design, is grafted onto the floor pan to complete the monocoque shell and again is indistinguishable from the original car.
For the self builder, the assembled monocoque shell, doors and bonnet are supplied in grey primer gel-coat for final preparation and painting.
This car is also available full assembled ready to drive away. From £20,000 on the road.
