ULEZ Compliant - MOT & Road Tax ExemptThis is a spectacular and exceptional example of the Austin Morris Mini 1275GT. Not only in its condition and originality of specification but also this cars V5 shows only 2 previous owners from new and has benefitted from a prehensive restoration by Braithspeed ltd exceeding £20,000 of invoiced parts excluding much labour! It's our opinion that the true figure of restoration would be significantly more than this asking price.The engine has been hugely rebuilt to include the benefit of a duplex chain and we confirm that she drives superbly well having covered 500 miles since. The clutch and brake cylinders, brake linings were also replaced and it has since had a service which included a coolant change. More in depth information on the restoration is detailed here however there is a large and tidy file available that is documented and provides photographic timeline of works. These can be seen in the picturs belowThe two-year restoration work pleted in 2013,.

OEM panels were sourced including the front wings, rear quarter panels, door skins, valances, gusset closing panels, front panel, sill panels, front and rear subframe and mounting points.This Mini was zinc etch-primed before being repainted in gloss black and has also been ceramic coated delivering a deep gloss shine. The underside has been coated with a protective substance and unlike many restorations this has been carried out with great care and detail.

About Us:
Our promise: “We ensure you’ll find your ideal classic car.”
Just moments from the M25, or a 23-minute train ride from London Liverpool Street and the City, our Fairmont Sports & Classics showroom team in Brentwood mitted to changing the way classic vehicles are bought and sold.
Classic models across the decades
Our stocklist – with new vehicles arriving daily – spans popular and iconic vehicles from the 60s through to the late 90s and beyond.
Over two floors we present a curated selection of more than 50 sports and classic cars – plus several motorcycles – all fully inspected, checked and ready to drive away, delivered, or shipped overseas.
We buy well so you’re not at risk
The buying prises seasoned motor industry professionals: our backgrounds span retail sales, fleet management, auction, wholesale, and service, inspection and maintenance. Having grown up with, driven and loved countless classics ourselves, we know what our customers look for: models and marques piquing current market interest; examples that are in excellent usable condition and order; and vehicles that represent a sound, good value investment.
An online portal search for any classic model will list several hundred vehicles across the UK. The unfortunate truth is that the vast majority, under scrutiny, will prove sub-standard, misrepresented or require uneconomic restoration or repair. Finding a good vehicle without motor trade experience is not for the faint-hearted.
We purchase our cars from private owners, collections and specialist auction houses. We are exceptionally selective about which vehicles we buy, when and why; we reject over 90% of all those we see. Those we purchase match varying customer demands: ‘best in market’ and fully original; fully or partially restored examples; and sound, practical, fun classics to be driven and enjoyed.
Whether you’re an investor, an enthusiast, or simply keen to recapture your youth, we’d love to help you find your ideal classic.
Warranty:
We want every customer to be confident in their purchase. Whilst we sell nationwide, many of our sales are local, with some customers revisiting to buy, sell or service more vehicles.
To ensure a worry-free motoring experience, we include our own pre-owned vehicle warranty and provide full servicing and support on-site.
The price of every car includes a six-month warranty for ponent failure: engine, transmission, and final drive. For the first three months, it covers the cost of any essential parts and labour. Thereafter we provide a 50% discount on any essential parts and labour for the remaining three.
We also operate our own on-site workshop offering specialist classic vehicle servicing, maintenance and repairs. The same mechanics that inspected and prepared your vehicle for sale will be delighted to keep it in good working order throughout your ownership.
