The interior is in excellent condition, the headlining is showing its age though, if i were keeping it i would replace that.
The bodywork is also in very good condition as you can see on the pictures, no paintwork needed, it has had sills at some time in the past but they are the proper fluted type as fitted originally not the nasty over sills.
It still has the FE number tags fitted to the front panel and inner wings, it also has the boot board brackets still fitted
It has previously had mild competition use, it runs and drives very well, plenty of power from the engine.
The previous owner removed the servo for some reason ? it is however included along with all the brackets etc to re fit, it is in excellent condition
These 1275 GT's are fetching very good money now, it rare to find a 1970 car for sale, they are much rarer than the equivalent cooper S
