1974 Leyland Mini S GT Tribute - Green & Purple Chameleon - 95,986km - 1310cc Inline 4, 4-Speed Manual
Overview
This 1974 Leyland Mini S GT Tribute is a comprehensively restored Australian Mini that combines classic Mini styling with tasteful performance enhancements and a striking custom appearance. Originally built as a Mini S, this vehicle has undergone an extensive three-year restoration and rebuild to represent the appearance and character of a Mini 1275 GT Clubman tribute while retaining its own unique identity.
Finished in an eye-catching Green and Purple Chameleon paint scheme, the vehicle presents with excellent visual impact and remains instantly recognisable thanks to its iconic Mini proportions, compact dimensions and classic styling cues. While the paintwork presents well overall, the vendor advises there are minor chips and imperfections consistent with a restored vehicle that has been enjoyed and driven. Throughout the restoration process, no significant rust concerns were identified, and the body presents as straight and structurally sound.
The interior has been extensively refreshed and upgraded. Improvements include sound deadening beneath new carpet and underlay, a new hood lining, new door cards, refurbished seating and a custom dashboard infill panel housing a quality four-speaker JVC audio system. A modern-style steering wheel has been fitted, while maintaining the classic Mini driving experience.
Power comes from a Mini inline four-cylinder engine originally based on the 1275cc platform, which has been enlarged to 1310cc and upgraded with a rally camshaft and extractors. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, the upgraded engine delivers the lively and engaging driving characteristics that have made classic Minis so popular with enthusiasts.
This is not an original Mini Clubman GT, but rather a carefully executed GT Tribute built from a genuine Australian Leyland Mini S platform. It offers buyers the opportunity to enjoy the iconic appearance and driving appeal of a GT-inspired Mini while benefiting from extensive restoration work and performance enhancements already completed.
Condition
This Mini presents in well-restored condition following an extensive three-year rebuild. The Chameleon paint finish remains vibrant and distinctive, with minor chips and imperfections noted by the vendor. Chrome trim displays light age-related patina consistent with the vehicle's age. The interior has been substantially refurbished with new trim components, sound deadening, carpet, headlining and upgraded audio equipment. The engine bay is clean and tidy, reflecting the restoration work undertaken.
