mini clubman estate,

Post by captain »

Hi got the chance of a 1974 clubman estate,been stored for 20 years,going to view it tomorrow,but unsure of value even if its a rust bucket which it probably is :o how much is it worth :?: and is it worth restoring to a reasonable standard?? ,to make a return

value is difficult, a mate of mine just sold a brown "81 mini 1000 for £675, it was utter sh@@e, engine out , trim missing, no headlights, proper ripe in the usual places, if you can sort a price out that you are happy with against the condition of the car I would go for it and do a restoration , think its worth saving the cluby estates

Be nice to stick a round nose front on, woody the back and build a Traveller replica :)

I'd have a Clubman Estate in a second, its probably the only clubman I would have. Rarer than a rare thing over here, I have only ever seen one.

And by far the best looking front for the estate / van body 8-)

Its much more "in balance" with the square shaped rear end, than the small round nose.

Here in Denmark are they also rare.

I'm all about the Clubman estates. 8-)
Prices on them seem to have been going up recently and a rusty one will fetch £500 easily.

One day I'll finish mine.

Uh oh, it seems to be developing double vision, I think it might have caught something from Jens' car. :lol:

I heard if you've got quad headlights blonde models start hanging off your car. It's got to be worth a go. :P
