Restored 1974 Morris Mini Clubman - Fast Road 1275cc
A beautiful restored example, finished in the iconic colours and uprated to and above 1275GT specification. Wonderfully original, her original shell with the early features, an original Clubman, opposed to a later re-shell or front-end conversion.
Supplied with 12 months MOT and no advisories, comprehensively serviced to include her engine and gearbox, her brakes and cooling system, her carburettor has been stripped and cleaned, then professionally tuned by a well known classic-car-tuner, optimising her power.
Restored under 1000 miles ago, last week she was fully inspected by a Mini Specialist rectifying all faults. We then took this further, perfecting her.
Fast Road Specification
This is a fast-road Mini, exceptional power, this beautiful roar, the sounds and smells of classical motoring, the biggest smile on your face, combining a minimal power to weight ratio with that Monte-Carlo rally-winning classic Mini handling, a terrific and/or terrifying drive.
At its core, she is uprated with the sought after Metro 1275cc engine. This engine is one of those south-after upgrades for Mini owners, offering Cooper or 1275GT power (20% higher than standard 1275cc’s, 50% higher than 1000cc) with a better camshaft profile, larger inlet valves and a higher compression ratio. This engine, stamped 12HE, is either highly uprated from standard-specification or the more powerful final MG Metro power-plant.
Her gear-box is smooth, no significant wear, no sounds or crunching, not worn like most.
When you’re ready to stop, she has very expensive AP Racing 7.5 inch 4 pot callipers with vented discs, providing exceptional stopping power and the possibility of 10 inch alloys. Her shock absorbers are Super Sport Gas.
Restored Condition
Her exterior is almost flawless, gleaming, inside she is almost as new. Lifting the carpets you see solid floors, the drivers floor retains her original factory stamp. Underneath is very nice, totally solid, many bolts fittings look recently changed or worked, not your usual rust.
Her private plate is included within the sale. She has covered 84,000 miles in total, albeit is fully restored with a new engine (speedometer changed post-restoration), possibly making such less relevant. She was previously involved in an accident in 2001 (category C), but has been restored twice over since.
MOT Exempt - Tax Exempt - Clean Air Zone Exempt
She is MOT exempt, road tax and clean-air-zones are free, saving you money.
However, unlike most Clubman’s, she is supplied with 12 months MOT and no advisories so that you and your family can feel safe.
I’ve seen too many deadly accidents where MOT exempt vehicles were unsafe, insurances void, often criminal ramifications for driving a dangerous vehicle.
All in all, just a beautiful vehicle, the pictures tell you everything you need to know, you won’t be disappointed.
