HI everyone. This is a 1972 British Leyland Mini Clubman. It only has an 1100cc engine but it corners like nothing else! It is currently owned by my dad but I?ve been the one doing most of the work on it- with a little help from dad! I'm going to pay dad for it at the end of the year when I get my license. It?s basically all in original condition- and immaculate condition at that!
Since we bought it in 2002 we have replaced the muffler; reconditioned the head with new, larger valves and valve seals, and ground half a millimetre off while we were at it to increase the compression a little; tinted the windows; put new carpet in with proper bitumen sound insulation; removed rust and welded up some holes in the floor pan; connected an aluminium tube to the tiny air filter to let it breath a little easier; and put in a very nice sound system. No sub woofers as yet!
It is a great car to drive and you don't have to go incredibly fast to have incredible amounts of fun. Another good thing is that it gets about 13km/L in fuel consumption! (Or about 7.5L/100km)
These photos aren?t very up to date but I will put some more on when I get around to it. Hope you like!
