You could have won a copy of the picture when I posted the link to the auction back in August.
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19595&p=225394&hili ... en#p225394
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
Bronze Yellow is a great period colour isn't it.

I agree.
A mate of mine has a 10" wheel GT & a MK3 S both in Bronze Yellow.

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.
