Mini 1275 GT(scalextrics)
It is with deep regret i find myself selling my mini.
If you know this car you will know how good it is. if not i hope you get the picture. it really needs to be seen to be appreciated. There has been a lot of my own blood. sweet. and tears put into this car not to mention money.
YES IT IS A GENUINE GT
The car has been subject to a full nut and bolt restoration during 2007-2008 hundreds of photos available. It is as clean underneath as as on top and has been kept in a garage in the dry except on mini runs. thats not to say it has not been used. its done two show seasons including castle combe mini action days which is where i have had the most enjoyment out of it. handling is awesome on a track.
It was also a front page feature car in mini magazine issue 154 December 2008.
