Here is my Mini 1275GT   The car is one of the last 10" wheeled GTs made. I bought it around 2 years ago and have been slowly playing since then. The current spec is follows: Engine: 1275cc (i think) MG Metro cylinder head Kent 286 fast road Camshaft 1.5 :1 ratio high lift rockers LCB exhaust manifold RC40 single box exhaust Mini Spares alloy inlet manifold K&N air filter No 7 carb needle Duplex timing chain Making somewhere between 90 and 95 Bhp at the flywheel Suspension: Hi-los adjustable cones KYB gas adjust dampers competition bushes Interior: Fake toad skin vinyl seats Harry Moss 8-track player (useless) I plan to continue to improve the performance while keeping it looking more or less standard. |

That's lovely! The colour is fantastic! Are the blue stripes correct or should they be black? Never seen them in blue before  Whilst many are quick to dismiss the Clubman as some sort of awful abberation, I love the boxy front  |

When i bought the car it didn't have stripes fitted, i did a bit of research and found out that stripes should be blue.
I'm not sure the blue is the right shade but i'll keep them until i know for sure, ive not seen another Harvest gold GT so its hard to say.

I do really like your Mini, Ministrone - I particulally like clubmans too, and yours with the colour scheme and 10" wheels looks lovely - and different too! Roll on the Riviera Run |

Hi Ministrone,
That's a gorgeous looking GT you have there, particularly like the stealth approach! As I remember, it put in some pretty decent times down the strip at RCS.
Always loved minis, but for whatever reason, I always prefered the clubman front.

My quick mental arithmetic tells me your engine is 2.3529 trimes bigger than mine, add to that rear drive and I think id see a lot of the back of your car. |
