Pics of my Mini 1275GT

Is that what they are worth over there?
I payed $NZ100 for the first set and got a second pair for free if i was prepered to take them off myself.

Maybe thats a good price over there, I know they are really expensive new, ive never seen a new set, we just take them off MG1100's and recondition them here

Do they come with K/N filters and correct inlet manifold for that sort of money? K/N's are around £30 each new.

Welcome

nice to have another NZ mini owner here

yous is obviously later than mine, mines registered JO and thats about the newest ive seen

[Vyking56]

It's definately from the tail end of the Minis that were assembled in NZ under British Leyland. I've seen a few odd-ball imports from the UK or Aussie but there's a serious lack post 1980 Minis in NZ

...Unless you're wanting to pay $40 grand for a new Cooper!

I wouldnt say the new one is a cooper at all, ive in the last week seen a new one for the frist time and its ******* huge, yet its got the same size boot and rear leg room as the original, it might look like a mini but its been a poor example of space conservation.

You can buy the original shape 90s coopers imported from japan for 10-15 thousand but they are pretty rough and usually fixed up accident damaged ones.

My Mini is registered as a 1981 but it was first registered on the 6th of January 1981 so it is really a 1980 model, possibly even had the registration put off for a few days so it looked newer.

You can get 1560 out of a A-Series engine
Mine is still a 1275.
1975 British Leyland Mini 1275GT.
Like yours, it had those ugly (don´t get me wrong, I didn´t like mine!) 12'' wheels. I like my minis with 10''. Got Cooper S discs and a set of Cosmic 10 rims and he looks great.

Cheers from Portugal.
