A freind of mine claims to have seen a completed clubman, no disguise etc, on the road (he lives near the factory)..... is this old hat news, or has he seen something others havent?

For what its worth, he's by no means a Mini fan, but he said it looked excellent.

Quite a few sightings I think. But that means nothing without photos!

I can't believe that I missed that ! At one point in the video we see the clubman near the Rhone river and in the back there is a bridge with green lights, I live 2 minutes from there !!

You can only really make your mind up on it when you see it in the flesh.

this is the "countryman", seems a similar shape...

MINI Clubman, see here: Clubman name confirmed - And a bit of history from MINI2..

And here: New MINI claims Clubman name

Oh, I already posted the video link yesterday: http://www.mini2.com/forum/2932440-post38.html - and no one seemed to be interested. Probably bad PR from my side

I saw when you posted it, but was waiting for a reply from the guy who posted it on YouTube to make sure he was happy with reproduction of the video.

jamski · Mar 8th, 2007, 07:44 PM

Think it looks great! Could open up the mavelous mini to a new market!

Judging by all this exposure when do we think the reveal will be? I see the Geneva motorshow is 8-18 of March. Some of the press were predicting a reveal at this show. Any news?

I was sure he will be happy because he posted it in (at least !!) 3 different German Car Forums...

The reveal will be in September on the IAA in Frankfurt.

Last night I was at MINI of Fairfield County in Stamford, CT for the unveiling of the R56...but besides having fun with old and new MINI pals, what really got my interest was that people have already placed orders for the Clubman. What do I know, eh?

I like the idea of this version, though at first I was so-so. I am really looking forward to seeing one in real life and can imagine myself buying one in a few years. It would be a wonderful excuse to get rid of our old Volvo wagon - we'd be able to pile stuff in the MINI Clubman and head off on vacation.
