Looks good.
Mate spruced up a Clubman similar to that. He de-seamed it and sprayed it Ferrrai red.
Looked awesome.

Come on Brett, did you really believe that stuff about belonging to a Minister ... let me guess, he only used it to drive to church on Sunday right

Well done though - that looks like one clean Clubby! What are your plans for it?

Are those regular Oz spec exterior door handles? Looks very tidy, what age is it?

[brett]

It's a 1974, clubman, totally original so yes Paul they are how the factory made them in OZ, they simply changed the front for the clubman.

I have a few things I have to do to it ie Repaint the engine, and put new brakes on it. ( Can never be to careful)
No greg, it was only driven on every otherday but Sunday from Church to the markets

I got it for about $3500. I think it should be a good buy. Hows your Clubman going Greg??

Sure, where are you picking up the car from?

Strange to see the exterior hinges on the doors, but handles we never had, and other "quirks" of the Oz Mini compared to the UK version.

I'm not sure whether MINI's ever had the hidden hinges in Aus, but if they did they had declined pretty well in numbers by then. So a classic without them would look strange to us.
