The Margrave Mini History website
In 1973, Erik Brandt intended to give a very special birthday present to his wife Margit. He bought a brand new Mini 1275 GT and brought it (back) to England together with a friend. The car was delivered at the Wood & Pickett Park Royal premises in London for a complete Margrave conversion. The specifications included; modified front end with twin headlamp system, full Margrave interior trimmed in best quality Connolly hide, Recaro seats, deep pile Wilton carpet (> 2” thick!), Margrave Elite dashboard, Radiomobile eight-track stereo player and four speaker system, tinted windows, electric windows, etc. Wood & Pickett Personalising Job No. 2196.
In 1999 the car was found in a very bad/rusty condition and has been fully restored in 2007. Since then, this unique Mini is kept in superb condition by its present Danish owner.
