Well, Im probably wrong (as I always seem to be

), but, in Autocar this week, its got a small picture and caption about the new Clubman, and it reads ...

"This is the first official picture of the Mini Clubman. This sketch shows that the Traveller concept's rear-hinged door has been kept to aid rear access, but will only feature on the passenger side blah blah blah"

Well, for me the interesting bit is the rear access part. It says that its rear hinged doors will only feature on the passenger side. However, the sketch shows that the door is still on the Euro/American passenger side. Either Mini have a trick up their sleeve, and that it may well be OK for British roads and RHD countries, Autocar are wrong, or Im completely mad for posting this post. Your call

Just thought it may be quite interesting...

If it was in Auto Express I would say bunkum but as its in Autocar I see your point.

It's only passenger side if it's LHD.
