1972 MINI Cooper 1275 GT

Original and beautiful Mini 1300 cooper with the unique and special hydrolastic suspension, coming from Spain and due to the favourable climate remained rust free, with the original double SU carburettors, fitted with disc brakes and power brakes to tame the extra engine power. Mass production began with the opening of the Authi factory in Pamplona in 1969. In April of that year, two versions of the Mini 1000 were marketed, Standard and Especial respectively. Even the Standard version was considered relatively well equipped at the time. From 1964 to 1971, the Minis had the hydraulic suspension system designed by Alex Moulton, with the name 'hydrolastic'. The Mini was to achieve the highest sales figures of any model in Authi's short history, with over 140,000 units sold by the time the factory closed seven years later.The car was fully assembled in Pamplona. The body was supplied from England, the engine and gearbox were manufactured in the company's own factory. In October 1968 the Mini 1275 C appeared, the C at the end of which was reminiscent of the Cooper. It was equipped with leather seats, a walnut dashboard and with various other equipment details that were not available on the British-built Minis.In 1971, Authi introduced the Mini 1275 GT whose specifications closely matched those of the corresponding British-built Mini 1300 Cooper. This car replaced the company's first model, the Mini 1275 C. The leather seats and walnut dashboard of the old model disappeared. The company continued to exist until 1976 when British Leyland ran out of money and the almost new Authi factory was sold to the car manufacturer SEAT .
