A fully restored Leyland Mini Moke 1275. These original 1275 cars are quite rare, but have survived well due to their fully galvanised bodies. This particular car was found advertised on Ebay Australia in June 2016, with a starting bid of $12,000 (reserve not met), and two days to run. 

The sellers description is very limited and states "Fully restored Genuine gal body 1275 Californian, thousands spent, have all receipt's, full books and history, immaculate car, undoubtedly one of the best "real" Californians available in Australia.
