SUMMARY
A remarkable survivor. Just over 6,500 miles from new and in commensurate condition. Pure nostalgia.
DESCRIPTION
- British Leyland's corporate strategy for the 1970s saw Austin and Morris dropped as marque names for the Mini and a new top of the range variant - the Mini Clubman - was introduced
- The Clubman featured a revised bodyshell incorporating internal door hinges, an extended nose, wind-up windows and the instruments moved from the dashboard centre to a position ahead of the driver
- The gleaming little Russet Brown Mini Clubman on offer here is not a professional restoration but an original car that has covered just 6,536 miles from new
- First registered on 02/01/1979. Ten years current ownership and three former registered keepers
- Even rarer - it's an automatic. Optioned from new with 1275 GT wheels and original Denovo run-flat tires (£36.77)
- Original Wills & Ellis Ltd dealership stickers, number plates etc., original badges and labels throughout
- Recent oil and filter change and new battery fitted. Wiper blades changed in the past (originals with the car)
- Supplied with original paperwork, manuals, Supercover handbook, Denovo handbook and Retail Order Form (£2,980.38)
