1978 Austin Morris Mini Clubman
Off the road
since 1991; smart interior and lots of originality; period features; four
new tyres; 49,000 indicated
This Morris era Mini
Clubman has been sitting hidden away for many years. Finished in blue with grey
cloth interior, the shell looks basically OK bar the usual Mini areas
(front of the floor and sills). One of the appeals is that all the parts
are available at a very modest cost so if you are handy with a welder - this
looks like a great opportunity.
Showing 49,045 miles there’s no
supporting history to substantiate this, but given the number of years its been
standing, it could well be genuine. A quick search online shows the last tax was
due in December 1991 and the vendor has put the car on SORN and sorted a current
V5C.
There are three previous owners listed and under the bonnet resides
the proven 1,098cc A-series engine which we have not attempted to start given
how long it has been standing, although it does turn over – clearly this Clubman
requires a degree of restoration and recommissioning but does roll freely
and looks a prime candidate given the prices restored variants
are fetching these days.
