Austin Mini 1275 GT

The 1275 GT was the sporty Mini of the late 1970s and early 1980s, with the square-nosed Roy Haynes front end, bodyside stripes, flared arches and 12-inch wheels that clear the front disc brakes. It took over the sporting role from the Cooper S, though with a single SU carburettor and 54 bhp it was brisk rather than fast. The page quotes 0-60mph in 12.9 seconds and a top speed of 87mph.

This 1980 car is finished in black with the contrast side stripes and the three-gauge dashboard. It shows 37,915 miles, which is very low for a car of this age. The page says it has come from a private collection, where it was dry stored and kept on a trickle charger. It is described as one of the last 1275 GT saloons built before production ended in October 1980.

As a vehicle over 40 years old it is exempt from road tax and MOT. The dealer says it will supply a fresh 12-month MOT and a full service before collection. The page describes the shell, bodywork and interior trim as well preserved.
