It sold for £368

We used to sell them new at work. Never thought anything of it at the time but nowadays the wheels and tyres look tiny don't they :lol:
Bronze Yellow is a great period colour isn't it.

Interesting that the Petrolicious car has inner wings with the big grommets, a feature of the later clubman I believe, but perhaps these panels were replaced during the restoration.

It still has the access hole in the boot firewall for the spit, discontinued in later cars.

Not my image but modified Mini van Castle Combe. Says C.1965 but suspect later than that.

My first motorised foray on the roads in 1984 was a red AR50.
