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

gd snap

I didn't like it when i first saw it on the internet, does it look better in the metal????

You could have called me, I'm five minutes away!

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?

Have to say still looks horrible

Gazzer J · Sep 3rd, 2007, 08:35 PM

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

Very nice spot there! Great work!

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.
