would a webasto sunroof have been factory option, or added later?

Swindrum, if you don't end up using that Webasto and want to sell it, let me know (assuming it's serviceable). I have a friend looking for a manual Webasto for a Mini. 

I have the GT at home now, she is rough! Will start saving my $$ for a shedload of panels. If I can find a decent Clubman shell, I may reshell it. MS sells new ones, but at 6700gbp, I may hold out for a good donor...

 

Highnumbers, I will not be using the sunroof, so it will be available. Will contact you.

Send me the Chassis number if you have it, and I'll pass it on to the 1275GT Registrar as one he can scratch off the list.

years ago we lost the trailer off the BIG BMC motorhome, the  1275gt,  fully restored was totaled 

only saving grace was the $15k insurance settlement
the car was salvaged and parts sold , Mike Gibson of CT got the engine

There was a nice one that sold on BaT recently.

For those attending the up-coming U.S. Mini Meets, keep an eye out for 1275GTs. If you can get owner contact information, let me know.

For those with 1275GTs, contact Alan Clark of the Mini Cooper Register at [email protected]. Send some information and photos and you'll likely end up in the monthly magazine.

I can't take it into Canada, because my passport has expired. I would gladly haul it to a border town (such as Niagara Falls, NY). I typically pick up Big Al's cars there when I make deliveries for him. Where bouts are you in Canada? Feel free to call or email me if you think I could help. Cheers, Hugh

The floors are rusted out and there's lots of other rust throughout the body.  I bought it for parts and took everything I needed so it's pretty much nothing but a shell.  Someone would have to want it for the top and the body parts that remain and little more as I see it.  But to each his/her own.  Shipping to Cananda - I don't know.

My brother/ nephew have a blue one with the vinyl roof that used to belong to Terry in Ontario. It has been off the road since 1987. It has the wood n Picket millionaire's dash, sunroof, Webers, S engine, brakes, rear wiper and twin tanks.. In 1981 at MME  was the first time I saw this Mini.

I had two.  Orange with vinyl top from Holland. It went up to Syracuse NY initially many years ago.  Lime green LHD conversion sold last year, went to S. Carolina and then saw it for sale again.
