That is cool as fcensoredk thumbup

I've always loved the flat fronted Minis and that it a bloody nice one.

Did 1275 GTs have twin carbs?

Stunning, just stunning.

It makes me question why I'm still yet to scratch my itch for a 1275GT. Then again I do have a car for sale so I guess it needs replacing...

Mine did and despite it's Downton head I was always pretty sure they were OE.
Don't remember that bit of Metro covering the rockers though......... nono

As in the Jag specialists?

Just checked their website and it isn't on, of course that doesn't mean they don't have it in stock.

Spotted it now, offers in excess of £20k too - lovely car it may be but that's madness!

as std the 1275gt had a single 1 1/2 hs4 carb. the twins would have been a st option i guess.

that longman badge on the front of the rocker box on craigs car used to belong to me.......

My first car was a 1275GT. I loved it but I had to learn how to fix cars real quickly.

Yours is a little stunner, tasteful mods too.
