Leylan is BACK! One of my personal FAVOURITES we've given away to date!
MEGA LOW ODDS! One for the connoisseur's!
Leylan is a MEGA famous example being the Corgi model car! He's also just been Mini World magazine featured plus multiple others in recent times.
The Austin/Morris 1275 GT is one of the greatest of all production Minis.
Leylan is a freshly restored stunning concours example. Built on the 22nd January 1973 and dispatched to Kennings in Norwich. The factory fitted options include Inertia reel seatbelts, 155 Denovo radial tyres and a normal duty battery. Having just been subject to a total restoration including lots of new metal, floors, boot floor, outer wings, bonnet and so much more, all heritage panels. Several new coats of his original shade of black tulip paint have been added, its a deep, rich and lustrous purple that transmutes into black in low lights and it is just magnificent! The all important 1275 GT decals and new 10 inch wheels wrapped in Dunlop SP Aquajet period correct rubber and all re chromed original parts finish him off perfectly.
Under the bonnet sits the original engine that has been totally overhauled and rebuilt to standard specification. Making 63 bhp & 72 ibft. The gearbox has had the same treatment. Having travelled just 598 shake down miles this Mini feels like new! Everything else was refurbished or replaced with new, the subframes have been overhauled (front is the original). Brand new suspension. New callipers, discs and braking system plus tonnes of other new parts. Also worth noting is the brand new wiring loom front and rear thus meaning none of those Mini wiring gremlins.
Internally the same level of detail has been lavished. A brand new basket weave interior with matching door cards from Newton Commercial. Brand new black carpets, headlining and dash fillers tie it all together. The original clocks, door furniture and top and bottom rails along with the steering wheel and upgraded gearknob make this the perfect interior. He's had 4 owners from new and comes with a complete history. Of course he's been immortalised in 1:43 scale by Corgi.
The 1275 GT's are now at the level the Cooper S's in regards to values and only going one way and that is up! So why not get in the mix to win one of the best out there. Just been fully detailed by the genius at Time to shine Doncaster.
If for some crazy reason you don't fancy Leylan, you can take the £10,000 TAX FREE cash alternative.
