Breaking
free of its Jaguar replica origins, Nostalgia Cars has launched
this Mini-based kit! If that doesn't quite sound right, then you
need to understand that this isn't just any Mini based creation,
but an identical replica of the wonderful Ogle Mini of the early
sixties. This ultra rare special was only ever produced in turnkey
form and of the 66 cars produced, it is thought just twenty-six
remain. |

| The Nostalgia Ogle SX
1275 GT is a small car.
But it’s a small car that looks great and goes well – a perfect
combination of styling and cost efficient use of proven mechanical parts. A small car with numerous engine
options. A small car that will give you
real comfort and smooth quiet motoring in a very eye catching body shape. A small car that will impress the enthusiast
with its brisk performance and aerodynamic shape. A small car with ease of parking but on the open road, can leave
most others in its wake. There are people who care about these things, people who want something different. It is for these people that Nostalgia Cars exists today. The skill of David Ogle and his design engineer, Mr. Johnson enabled them to give birth to David Ogle’s dream. The original ‘Ogle’ was designed and built by two people seeking perfection, the same perfection that the team at Nostalgia Cars UK Ltd seek today. In replicating that dream, Nostalgia Cars has matched the beauty of line with current modern production practices. The reputation of the Mini mechanical components, in all its guises, is already well known. Floor pan assembly and body production is carried out with an attention to detail only available on individually hand crafted cars. As previously indicated, the Ogle SX 1275 GT is of monocoque construction using a newly manufactured fully strengthened Mini floor pan to which a body of hand laid GRP finished in gel coat primer is bonded prior to dispatch to the customer. Builders will be able to enjoy full back-up and the support which we provide for all of our customers. Surprise yourself by discovering all the exciting options that you can build into your very own piece of history - now the NC Coupe revives that dream held so fondly by David Ogle and his engineer in 1960 |

In replication, the Nostalgia Coupe floor pan is
strengthened in such a way that it is indistinguishable from the original
‘Ogle’ design. The only exception being
the inclusion, for safety reasons, of roll-cage mountings. This brand new floor pan is fully jigged and
produced ‘in house’. A natural
progression for the Company following many years of being involved in total
mini body restoration for UK Concours and the Japanese market. |
Each new floor pan is built to take the later type ‘single bolt, dry’ front sub-frame. Corrosion protection is provided using Waxoil cavity injection. Finally etch primer and two pack enamel are applied to provide a lasting, durable finish. |

 The replica body which is hand laid by our expert GRP fabricators to the exact dimensions of the ‘Ogle’ design, is grafted onto the floor pan to complete the monocoque shell and again is indistinguishable from the original car. For the self builder, the assembled monocoque shell, doors and bonnet are supplied in grey primer gel-coat for final preparation and painting. |

| Package Prices ( January 2006 ) First Stage 1 (PKO
1) Every part required by the self-builder to complete the car to a high standard of finish is directly available from the Company at a competitive price. However, with numerous ‘Mini Specialists Companies’ serving the after sales market, we recognise that the experienced mini owner and builder will be sourcing parts themselves, determining their own budget by using additional donor car parts, thereby stamping individual character on their new car. The use of the standard, strengthened Mini floor pan assures builders of a trouble free assembly and guarantees high standards of ‘fit’, finish and performance. Modification to mechanical components is not required. Essential items are available from our Somerset Factory to provide the customer with a stage by stage service through to completion. |
