1978 British Leyland Mini Clubman - 6,450 miles

'At last - a comfortable Mini', was Motor magazine's take on the Mini Clubman at its introduction in 1969. The Saloon version of the newcomer had been penned by ex-Ford stylist Roy Haynes as a replacement for the Riley Elf and Wolseley Hornet, while the related Estate car was intended to succeed the established Countryman and Traveller. However, a change of plan saw both round and square nosed Minis produced concurrently, until the Clubman range gave way to the Metro in 1980. This Mini Clubman 1100 saloon is a home market car that was delivered on 26th May 1978. Finished in its original colour of Reynard with Sorrel interior, original factory equipment includes heated rear window, inertia reel seatbelts, fresh air heater, temperature gauge and 155 Dunlop Denovo radial tyres. The car is presented in true time-warp condition reading only 6,450 miles, which we believe to be genuine. The interior is in lovely condition and is consistent for a car of this mileage. As is the bodywork and engine bay, showing nothing but factory fresh body lines and welds. Supplied with a heritage certificate, V5 registration document and MoT test certificate until October 2014, this charming Mini would make a welcome addition to any classic car collection. Sure to make an excellent investment opportunity, cars of this ilk come along very infrequently. Offered without reserve, come and grab yourself a piece of Mini history.
