I know my 1971 had Morris Mini Clubman on it I can't actually remember if it said Mini Clubman or just Mini on the log book and can't check at the moment as the V5 isn't back from DVLA The badge on the back says Clubman Estate though ;D edit - V5 came back today make : Leyland Cars model : blankBody Type : Estate  1st registered 07 April 1970 Guess that makes it pretty early as Clubman Estates go...  |

 Just spent ages, and I mean bloody ages, clearing out my garage, taking shelving down, moving stuff into storage etc etc, just so I could put the clubman in the garage now we seem to have permanent arctic weather. So late today the job was done, garage clear and ready. Put the Cooper in first, then the clubman - spot the problem!!   if only the garage was 3" longer if I get rid of the tumble drier they will fit though, just working out how best to broach that subject with " 'er indoors" ;D

As a 'quick fix' take the front bumpers of both cars, should be 3"-4"

put that nice shelving across the way (you may need to shorten it), then stand the tumble drier above the mini bonnet line and you can poke the nose in further :-)

Quite a sweet looking Mini, and I am sure it should provide you in the fun factor  . As said it is your Mini and ultimatelty it is your decision on which direction you wish take the car in. If it were me, I would be tempted to stick it on either a set of Wellers, Revos or preferably the semi rare 10" Mambas  . |

Whip all the bumpers off and I'm sure they will squeeze in

Maybe try getting some of those car castor things for the Cooper, hence putting it in sideways across the garage! Heaps of space then!

a few developments with the Clubman but nothing visable from the outside so no fresh photos yet but got all the curse word additional wiring and switches removed (there were 4 spotlights, 2 fog lights and 2 interior lights which were all on seperate power supplies / earths / switches etc ) All the wiring is now sorted and hopefully no longer a fire waiting to happen Plus all the water hoses have been changed and a decent alternator has replaced the 40 yr old dynamo so now I can have lights and wipers, not one or the other Also replaced the front brakes so it stops as well I'm seriously thinking about going back to 10" rims though - possibly banded steels. |

Looking for another car to use as a daily and thinking about getting another mini for that - probably a later spi or MPi model as it's a 60 mile a day round trip. |

Well, I've had this for over a year now and just put it through another MOT - little bit of welding and lots of brake / suspension / steering bits replaced but it drives like a totally different car - so much better It's been my 17 yr old son's first car and he loves it, but I've just been offered a mini van, so it may be for sale soon  |

quick update as it's been a while............. I had been thinking of selling but my son, who uses the car daily, has decided he doesn't want anything newer or modern or boring (good lad!) so the plan is to keep the Clubby Estate and give it a bit od a rolling restoration. This is how it looks today..........   but hopefully over the next few weeks / months it will get tidied up a bit and may even change colour! |
