Correct sills for 1971 Clubman?

Post by carbon »

Can anyone confirm which are the correct sills to use for an April 1971 1275GT?

I have been told this is close to the changeover point from the earlier 4-vent sills to the later 6-vent type.

My clubman was registered Oct 71 and although its mostly unrestored it currently has over sills tacked on (probably over the originals by the looks of it). I plan to restore properly when I get time and haven't got around to removing them yet.
Sorry I can't help out, hopefully someone else can as I'd be interested to know as well.

I had a 1971 J reg. mini, not clubman and it had the original 4 vent sills. I dont know when it was registered. See the picture.

Thanks for all the replies, I have ordered up the 4-vent sills as these seem to be the correct type
