MINI2 member “I Love MINI, Laura” had a nice surprise while on holiday in the Cotswolds. No less than an undisguised (save for Cooper S and MINI badges carefully blanked out!) MINI Clubman pulling up outside where she was dining.

Well, who could resist crawling all over the car and taking a few photographs? Not Laura, and the photos are all on the MINI2 forums (see comments below).

This follows on from a recent mass Clubman sighting reported on the MINI2 forums by Hein who photographed 30 or so of the “Other MINI”, which you can see via the MINI2 forums here.

September is going to be a busy month for MINI Clubman followers on MINI2. In little over a week we’ll be driving the new MINI, ready to report back when the international media embargo is lifted on the 7th September, then we’re off to Frankfurt for the motor show to report on the MINI Clubman and John Cooper Works MINIs, and then we’re off to Scotland later in the month to put a UK spec Clubman or two through its paces.
