  • 1275GT based track specification mini
  • Upgraded with Garrett turbocharged 1340cc uprated engine, roll cage, performance dash and extinguisher system

  • Bought from H&H in 2021 and raced sparingly, now ready for a new owner

Purchased from H&H in October 2021, this 1275GT based track specification car has been raced sparingly in the current ownership and is ready for a new owner. A rare and perhaps unique proposition, based on a 1979 Mini 1275GT and re-shelled in 1989, the impressive specification includes a full road-legal track conversion, uprated 1340cc engine fitted with a Garrett AIResearch T3 Turbocharger, turbo-specific cam and duplex drivetrain. It also features additional cooling with a high capacity alloy radiator, additional cooling fan and oil cooler.

YFC 533V was subject to an engine overhaul and lightened flywheel in October of 2014 costing £3,606 and comes with over £43,000 in invoices. In addition to upgrades to the engine, the car benefits from a straight cut Jack Knight transmission, fully adjustable shock absorbers, tie bars and rear anti-roll bar, and sits on 13 inch wheels with uprated 4 pot calipers at the front. YFC 533V also features a stripped out interior with full bolt-in roll cage, bucket seats, performance dash with both internal/external battery isolator and full extinguisher system covering engine bay, interior and boot. This potent Mini is accompanied by a comprehensive folder including invoices dating back to 1989, a number of previous MOTs and Swansea V5.
