@KiwiStag743 ай бұрын
Marvellous to see you both back on air. I did wonder why we hadn't heard from you in a while, and I'm rapt that Claire is up and about again. You have my sympathies - I only had pneumonia in one lung (and I too have asthma), but never got a ride in an ambulance for it. In fact, on doctor's orders, I drove myself to hospital (in my then-fiancé's car as mine was down with something of it's own). Took me about 2-3 weeks to be able to walk further than 50 feet without puffing....so I can certainly understand why complications have you in and out of hospital and not your usual energetic and effervescent self for a while. Here's hoping it keeps getting better and better for you. Wow! A little 1275GT, eh? I remember the first time I saw one in our little village. The NZMC sales yard was at the top of the road that our street ended at, so about 1.5 miles from our house. We used to see the new cars being test-driven down Wellington St and past the end of our road and as my primary school was half-way along Wellington St toward the yard, I saw a few on my way there and back each day. One sunny day in 1978, a little Roman Bronze Mini came down the road and I stood there staring at it because it didn't look like the others at all. Ok, it was a Clubman, but it was different because the paint was metallic.....with some real neat gold stripes and great looking wheels to boot! It wasn't just a Mini, it was a MINI to me.... I'd just seen my first 1275GT. The bloke who had test-driven it must have loved the car as well, because it used to turn into our street each day at about the time I was waiting to cross the road to our driveway. By this stage, the Mini was also sporting a set of Lucas LR8s atop the bumper and just looked - and sounded - spectacular. I too have always wanted a 1275GT. I've owned three round-nosed Minis (and I still have one of them) and they've been fun, but I still want a 1275GT! I've thought about "making" one, but it's just not the same. They're asking a premium for them down here in NZ though, so I don't think it's going to happen any time soon unless I sell my Stag! However, the one I bought would HAVE to be that Roman Bronze colour with the original wheel trims on the 12" steel wheels....and I've got a set of period correct Hella 181s that I could use instead of the Lucas LR8s....or maybe I should use the Hella 160s....? Nah - maybe I'll just bite the bullet and get a set of Lucas LR8s and fulfil the dream in totality! Again - great to see you both again and glad you're on the mend, Claire. All the best.

Thank you so much. Your comments are always really enjoyable. That pneumonia is horrible. Claire has just started coming on short walks again this week with the dogs. It’s taken her that long just to build her strength back up. The 1275GT is such a great looking Mini and I totally get why you’d want one that takes you back, too! Classic cars are more about nostalgia than performance for most of us. 😀

Do you remember the og run flat tyres from Dunlop. They were specifically made for the 1275mini and ran adverts in the 70’s and 80’s. They were called Denovo. Did all 1275GT Minis come with the Tudor Webasto sunroofs, we brought a mini just like that, black but no stripes, but white alloys and the SUNROOF, with a tinted window visor.

Great video. I bought a new 1275GT back in 1979, yep I’m old. It was Vermillion (Bright Red) with Gold 1275 Stripes. The seats were grey striped. Your seats look like those from a Clubman. Mine came with Denovo Tyres, which I promptly changed for 12 inch Wolfrace wheels. It was a great car, the only downside was I once lost out in a straight line race with a Reliant Robin Van.

I need to hide that last paragraph. It’s not a good selling point 😂 Interesting comment about the seats. We need to do some digging there. Thank you.

Oh yes, the rotary arm, a great Anti-Theft device back in the day when I had my Mini.

When I passed my driving test, if not before I always wanted one of these, I remember they used to have bull bars, but they got banned . I did get myself a 1275 eventually, but in the mini Metro MG turbo . you’ve got your work cut out, putting this one right 👍☺️
