Mini Clubman photographed in Milton Keynes

Hot on the tail from Laura's post, I went to IKEA in Milton Keynes yesterday and was just a little surprised to see a Mini Clubman. Took a couple of snaps for you all to enjoy, not sure if I like it or not, but it's different that's for sure.

Keep them peeled!

Cheers

Gary

What colour is that?
It looks almost but not quite like the C pillars match the body work - I bet in real life, the mismatch is more obvious?

Jordan - yep, they also forgot to put the cover on!

Sooper - I personally didn't take to it, the proportions don't do it for me, maybe its a grower though, I think a different set of wheels would help for starters. I think the picture makes it look clean and shiny. It actually looked a bit grubby, flies all over the front end, a bit dirty all round, the rear wheel arch trim was scratched and looked a bit shabby. Certainly was well used anyway.

Paul - oops sorry about that, I wanted the exclusive, selfish of me I know!

GB Mini - Astro black I suppose, I think the light in the photo caught the blue in the paint, in real life it just looked black'ish'

Neilobe - not everyone's cup of tea it seems

That one has been parked outside my house before. A guy accross from us works at the factory and often gets prototypes. I had a look at it and you can see where the disguise was fitted at the back and where the taoe was on the side glass. Its had a tough life by the looks of it.

It does look pretty shabby and the wheels don't suit it. The full production spec ones running round Oxford now look a lot tidier.
Lightening blue with silver is especially nice.
