The old 1275cc Cooper S from the sixties was far more desirable than the later 1275 GT....methinks Guy.. :y :y

Great car Amigo, absolutely love Minis, and you can do so many different things to them that you can get it very wrong, but this one's a peach  :y

Yes indeed they are but let's keep the price in mind?
   If you bought this one & the shed i posted you could "ring" your own car without too much work & get free tax.You would'nt be the first or the last. Classic Cooper S's with heritage certificate can command 5 figures & still might not be a real Cooper as in MK 1 & 2 Escort RS2000/Mexicos etc. Plenty of well cloned overpriced examples about.
  At the current bid this is a cracking little Min! 8-)

Years ago my mate sold a mini to some chap who done a ringer job on it, unfortunately he got caught out by a sharp eyed plod (who happened to be a mini nut) noticed that the back lights didnt match the year showing on the reg,,,oopsy!! :o

i like minis, they are so so british. i loved the 1275 gt, in green.  :y

i see one of these yesterday in white, it looked like it just came out the factory, it was stunning, the chrome was gleaming.

It's a funny ol' world.. I see/read nothing about Mini's for years, and then one of the MR2 guys goes and buys a 1275GT (with a 1330 twin SU engine) and then I see this straight afterward..

Now I want to go and play in a Mini.. someone lend me one? I don't fancy buying one  ;D

Really good price Guy, although as it's not "as standard" I wouldn't expect it to be everyone's cuppa char ;)

Personally, I'd want to keep the interior and exterior looking as close to standard as possible ;) When I do the Cooper it'll look standard :y :y
