1971 Austin Mini 1275 GT For Sale by Auction

This car along with 124 others is to be auctioned at our Bonhams MPH 11th December auction, Hanger 113, Bicester Heritage, OX26 5HA.

Odometer reading: 58, 000 miles MoT expiry date: exempt

- One registered keeper
- Matching numbers
- Restoration completed in 2019
- Lead-free conversion

This matching-numbers Mini 1275GT was originally registered in Brighton, while the bulk of the history file's invoices and notes originate from South London, as did the original owner, who sold 'VUF 161K' to a Mini collector in 2014. A complete strip down and rebuild was commissioned, which was only completed in November 2020. The rebuild included a high-quality repaint in Flame Red, with the same attention to detail inside and underneath, and the vendor advises us that all bracketry has been cleaned, stripped, and then painted or cadmium/ zinc plated as per factory specification. The original cylinder head has been converted to run on lead-free petrol. Fit and finish are said to be superb, and this Mini 1275GT would be at home on any concours lawn. One of the last Hydrolastic suspension models, the car retains its original chassis and engine plates, and has a dated wiper motor and the correct distributor. Other noteworthy features include original optional GT reclining seats; the original GT leather-bound steering wheel; and correct 10 diameter Rostyle wheels shod with wider-section performance tyres. The comprehensive MoT history substantiates the low odometer reading of 58, 000 miles, and 'VUF 161K' also comes with its original logbook. The car is only being sold to make room for the owner's next project: a works rally Mini.
