"A car that has been tastefully renovated for everyday use."

Description

When the Cooper and Cooper S were phased out of production in the early 1970s, British Leyland's 1275 GT stepped in to fill the need. Its front was more angular than its counterpart. According to car fans, that front was not totally effective, while being timely in terms of design. Many of the 1275 GTs were rebuilt with the older, more rounded front end. This is also true of this copy. It is in excellent shape. A father's heartfelt gift to his daughter. Surprisingly, the daughter preferred other cars, so she sold later.

This copy is not an original car, but it is a fantastic example of how cars were prepared previously. They have integrated what they considered was greatest when it was renovated in this car. Everything is carried out with the appropriate emotion. The car's benefits include a 1275cc engine, four-speed manual transmission, 12-inch wheels, adjustable backrests, sports steering wheel, and a wood instrument panel.

Facts about the model

Lite historia om hundkojan:

De tillverkades under BMC:s paraply med namnen Austin och Morris samt lyxversionerna Wolseley och Riley. Det kallades för "badge engineering” eftersom man i stort bara bytte lite namnskyltar och grillar. Den första hundkojan eller Mini som de kallades för i övriga världen presenterades 1959. Den var revolutionerande tackvare sin smarta och platsbesparande konstruktion som Alec Issigonis var ansvarig för. Issigonis tanke var att det skulle vara en enkel och billig bil med bra vägegenskaper. Det blev det också. En som verkligen uppskattade bilen var John Cooper som på den tiden drev ett racingstall med formelbilar i högsta ligan. Han använde själv BMC-motorer i dessa och visste dess potential. En tanke var född. John Cooper kontaktade Alec Issigonis som inte alls var intresserad av att ha en vassare motor i sin kära mini. Han ansåg att den var en bil för folket och inte ett tävlingsredskap som John Cooper ville ha den till.

1961 fick tillslut John Cooper ändå som han ville och en uppförstorad, 997cc (57 hk) variant av den ursprungliga 850 (37 hk) motorn togs fram. Nya Mini Cooper var därmed född. Cooper fick en annorlunda klädsel samt skivbromsar. De hade också en avvikande färg på taket. En vassare variant presenterades 1963 och kom att byggas i en kortare serie. Det var Cooper S 1071cc som även fick större och kraftigare skivbromsar. 1964 hände det mycket. Tre nya motorvarianter togs fram. Cooper S 1275cc och 970cc samt en mer civiliserad motor för gatan för 998cc för den vanliga Coopern. Skälet till att man tog fram så många varianter av motorer var de olika klassindelningarna baserade på motorvolym som användes vid biltävlingar. Det fanns klasser för bilar upp till 850 cc, 1000 cc, 1150 cc och 1300 cc. Det fanns alltså en mini för varje klass.
