G-MANN ◊ 2009-08-20 16:16	No way. That was the estate (station wagon) version. This is just an ordinary Mini.
Sunbar ◊ 2009-08-20 16:30	Mini Clubman - estate? No, the Clubman was the flat-fronted 'modernised' (grille including head-lamps) styling on both the saloon and Countryman/Traveller estates. This has the appearance of the standard original Mini shape also seen on saloon and estates. No door hinges I think. It could have larger rear-lights? With roof colour possibly non-standard? -- Last edit: 2009-08-20 16:30:58
G-MANN ◊ 2009-08-20 16:39	Yes you're right, but wasn't there a Clubman estate (successor to the Countryman and Traveller)? But to me this doesn't look like the flat-fronted Clubman anyway. -- Last edit: 2009-08-20 16:40:42
Sunbar ◊ 2009-08-20 16:48	I guess they were called the Mini Clubman Estate when the Austin/Morris badges were dropped? So yes just Mini Clubman saloon and Mini Clubman estate. This is the original mini shape, obviously the saloon. Headlamp bezel is just visible I think. -- Last edit: 2009-08-20 16:48:41
