Hi 

Just a quick hello

My name is Dave and I have today picked up my 1977 Mini 1275 GT project. 

The second car I owned many many gears ago was a Mini 1275 GT. I always promised myself that I would one day get another 1275 GT

That day has arrived, the car I bought has been stored in a barn local to me in Gloucestrshire for over 30 years, so is a true barn find I think and yes there is a lot of work to be done to get her back to where I want her to be. So please excuse the newbie questions on specs etc. that will inevitably come from me.

 

Cheers Dave

Hi Dave welcome and how about some before pics of what you’ve got you can’t beat a 1275gt in my humble opinion.
