Offered with an MSA passport up until 2029, this is a ‘rally spec.’ 1275 GT build, which was completed in 2019 at Greetham Garage, and has seen very little use since. Originally, this Mini 1275 GT was supplied new by Mann Egerton Co. Ltd of London, to a Mr Church of London. Garage owner and rally driver, Julian Cardew took this car in part exchange in 1989 and recreated his successful Mini Clubman used in the 1970’s for road and stage rallying, before he moved on to Opel, Ford and then Peugeot. Used since his retirement on four small demonstration events.

The body has been prepared with necessary strengthening and seam welding including the front subframe. There's a competition dash and wiring and Cibie Oscar spot lamps. It wears four new Revolution 12" wheels with Yokohama tyres and is has two spare wheels. Power is delivered from a +.040 1293cc engine, with a 45" DCOE carburettor and straight-cut Jack Knight gears, providing a sound that evokes the memory of historic Mini racers. Circa 87bhp can be found at the flywheel, the output aided by a Peter Burgess race head and rally cam, balanced crank, steel flywheel and competition clutch. Fuelling from a large capacity tank is via an electric fuel pump with gases exiting via a 3 branch competition manifold. Cooling is aided by an alloy radiator and 13 row oil cooler.

The running gear includes adjustable Spax shock absorbers, straight cut box, with an open differential and Cooper ‘S’ drive shafts. Stopping the Mini are 8.4" discs and Mintex 1144 pads, Rear brake bias valve and inboard brake lines. Prepared for forest rally and tarmac stage events, the safety specification includes a full Dural sump guard, FIA Safety Devices bolt-in roll cage with door bars and rear diagonal, in-date OMP seats and Sabelt competition harnesses, a plumbed-in fire extinguisher system (serviced 2022) and a Quick Jack. On board, there is a Brantz 2 trip meter and a Terratrip road comms system. Supplied with the MSA passport valid until 2029, the original owner’s wallet (handbook and passport to service with stamps) and a collection of invoices plus a Pearson’s maintenance manual.
