Newbe here, have been working on my 1275GT on and off for a year now! Not so much a restoration project but more a conversion back to near original factory spec from a previous owners personal taste. Most parts sourced from the bay, original Ermine White paint from Romart and just getting prices together for an interior refit. Andy at Optimised seems to be on the ball - anyone had an interior from him?
The 1275GT was featured in the July 2004 issue of Mini World as a barn find and it is my intention to bring the story up to date in 2014 as a return to original glory....we will see.
