LOL...the black plates are the old plates that I have replaced with the correct period refective ones!Craig

Sorry I was going by order of photos

I'm 47 and I'm still too young to remember if those are the correct style period plates

Raised ones will still look better

There are rasied! hehe (probably not too clear in the photo's though!

No, they look as flat as a fashion model on a tissue diet

Hi James

Brick is to compare wheel as if on car - unless I've got that wrong too

Stunning GT there!

My second car was a modified 1275GT, looking at those pics makes me want to jump in a Mini again and zoom off down some country lanes!

Them were the days!

Look at that interior!


Stunning.

Flying the flag and all that! Beautiful looking 1275GT, absolutely beautiful.

I think the reason all the pictures look like they were taken back in the 70's isn't the scenery, it's the fact that that car looks brand spanking new. Very nice!!

[Xenocide]

Wow that carpet really sets it off. Any pictures of it with the old carpet?

Looks amazing. Really really nice. I don't really like mini's that much either.

What I do like though is that fact that all the parts are so cheap. Out of interest; how much for a tyre?

lovely car great to see a real mini not a bmw

beaufiful.... the 1275 gt is my favorite mini, I can remember lusting after a black 1275 I used to see on the way to school... class car!

[Dr G]

Absolute stunner of a car you have there - grin factor must be massive!

here's the old carpet:


and the new:


Yeah parts are cheap...BUT there are a LOT of crap quality parts around (dont even get me started on chrome parts)!!!

but a top quality 10" yoko a800 tyre cost about £30-35!

I recently had 5 tyres swooped over to new wheels by a national tyre company (and they did'nt charge as they like the car so much)! lol.

This carpet is probably the most expensive & best quality you can buy off the shelf. It's from Newton Comercial (which is such a great company to buy from). It cost about £130 I think and around £20 for the underlay.

just one more:

Beautiful car, I had a black 1275 GT 23 years ago and loved it, fantastic fun to drive.
