Hi All, Daxie Here

 

Just bought a South African Built 1974 Mini GTS - as a personal project and just love the little devil.

 

• 10" wheels/rims - look similar to cosmic but cant find them on the wheels directory
• has the original 7.5" disk brake and assembly
• modified - cam
• 1380 re-bore - done a year ago according to previous owner
• performance branch and pipes 
• 2nd oil inter-cooler / radiator

 

 

Plans:

• Need to replace valves, guides, and seals, (smoking blue a bit and more so when on heavy throttle when warm)
  all compression is good and no oil leaks on outside of engine.
• Replace all hoses and brake master cylinder
• remove minor rust in usual places i.e. roof gutter,then new custom respray as well as boot and engine bay
• re-chrome all bumpers
• replace back side windows, they are a bit scratched up
• has twin SU may move to single weber
• refurbish wheels / rims maybe colour code with a powder coat 
• refurbish interior, not bad shape but could have been done a lot better i.e. the required PSI, temp gauges required when running a performance engine Which means new dash to start

That is all the wallet will take for the next few months.

 

Thanks

Daxie

It is weird in SA in 1973/74 we got a clubman called a GTS with cooper s internals its a struggle to get info on them bar the usual spec sheets any ways, luckily you guys have a lot of info which is handy.

Hi, I don't know if you still have your GTS but there is a fair amount of info if you know where to look. For instance, a site called The Classic Register has a lot of info on that car.
