A little history on the 1275GT MINI:The 1275 GT is often incorrectly described as the "Mini Clubman 1275 GT". The official name was always just the "Mini 1275 GT", and it was a separate, distinct model from the Clubman (although it shared the same frontal treatment as the Mini Clubman, and was launched at the same time).A new model, dubbed the 1275 GT, was slated as the replacement for the1,275ccMini Cooper S (the 1,275cc Mini Cooper S continued alongside the 1275 GT for two years until 1971).In 1971, the 1,275cc Mini Cooper S was discontinued in the UK, leaving the Mini 1275 GT as the only sporting Mini on sale for the rest of the decade.It was the first Mini to be equipped with atachometer. It also featured a standard-fit close-ratio gearbox. Performance of the 1275 GT was lively for the time, achieving 0-60mph (97km/h) in 12.9seconds, and the excellent midrange torque offered a 30-50mph (48-80km/h) time in top gear of only nine seconds.The Mini Clubman and 1275 GT were replaced in 1980 by the new hatchback Austin Metro.
