The Classic Mini was introduced in 1959 and subsequent refinements resulted in 'souped up' variations including the 1275 GT, which appealed particularly to the young sporty drivers. The signature stripes running along the lower body identified its racy status. Our third release on the 1275 GT, registered DPA 85H, features these stripes in black on a bright red body. The interior and chassis are also black and the wealth of silver masking, including the wheels, round off the authentic look on a car that has evolved and remained with us for over half a century.
