Description
1974 Morris Mini 1275 GT in classic Bracken with matching Sorrel basket weave seats. This 46 year old mini has covered just 14050 documented miles and is incredible. It has been lightly restored but has never had a panel changed and is ‘time warp’ condition. All of the interior paint is original and even the front floor pans are immaculate and factory original. It was owned for the first 39 years by Sir Thomas Farmer who founded Qwik Fit Tyres. During his ownership it had covered just 12300 miles and was always garaged and known as ‘his baby’. He specked the car when new with a slide back sun roof and a Blaupunkt stereo which are still present on the car. The cost of the car new was £1643. 85 which included a special rust treatment. The originality, mileage and provenance is unique and it has a lovey history file including past MOT’s the original bill of sale, original hand book / leaflets and a Mini Magazine colour feature to back up the storey. The original wheels were the 12 inch Denovo wheels which are do longer with the car and are now out of date. It now has period Rolestyle 10 inch wheels on Yokohama A008 tyres and Cooper S style 7. 5 inch disc brakes which work well. Both sets of original keys are present plus the original Appleyards key fob. Today it looks fantastic and drives wonderfully. I think you would have to the luckiest person on earth to find a better more genuine example. Free delivery to your door in my curtain sided van within 200 miles of South Molton.
