Well, that's certainly different.
Doesn't look particularly nice with the nose up in the air and the hanging bum.

I saw this, I thought the curiosity of the choice of the build was worthy of its own little thread here. it seems to be a Mini Clubman estate with a Saloon rear grafted onto it to make a sort of stretch saloon. I think.      Each to his own, but I think that's more 'because we can' rather than 'because we should'. |

I think its a swing and a miss.
Could be much improved with stock rear lights and shortening the rear overhang

I have something to say: It's better to burn out, than to fade away!

Given how long Minis have been around, and how many of them have been modified one way or another over the decades, I've never seen one done like that before! Definitely different.

This was on eBay last year or the year before, I don’t think it was in as good condition then.
The interior is a bit of a mismatch of styles as well if I remember correctly 😆

Could've done something with the rear-side windows, aside from that it just looks like it's got a big bum. Nice idea tho. Mabie.

I think a darker colour would help the looks.

All of the uglyness of the clubman estate (although I love them) but without the practicality of the estate. Pass me the eye bleach.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should :-)

I think the one advantage this has is lots of rear legroom- rear seat looks a long way back. Can appreciate the effort gone in, but think would work better with a std mini front end. James P.S. homersimpson clubby estates aren't ugly just very different, always thought they worked better than the std clubman. |
