Hes a 1978 (or maybe 9) Mini clubman. Hes got a 1100cc engine. Hes Chocolate brown, regardless of how many people say hes poo brown. Hes in pretty good condition, with a really nice period radio and speakers fitted. Abit of rust on the front drivers wing. Bulkhead looks abit flaky around the brake and clutch cylinders. I want to get this on the road as quick as possible and hopefully source a decent engine to slap in him at the end of summer ready for the daily commute to uni. P.s The radiator fan ad pully is dead loose, What holds that on? Stuck me as a bad thing to be loose if you ask me! Anyway, ive chatted on enough, heres the picture. oh , and hes called Robert.. But thats set to change to "F***ing peice of S***" depending on how long it takes to get an MOT. (only one picture, sorry )

Ryan, theres a rumour you have some orange striped seats which would be standard on Robert.. and currently hes got some mini mayfair type jobbies in.
How much for the orange ones off you?

Ahh, fired him up again today, so he still works... its going well! lol
Ed them plates the 3d plastic ones he said are £60 but he has to substitute a 9 for a more rounded one :/
And the pressed ones like Ryan has on his cooper are £40
I think I may go for the cheaper option, because my reg has got 2 nines in it and to be honest, i reckon itll look crap. And i like the retro font on ryans lol.

Well, went and had a good luck over Robert today. Needs Sills, rear heel board and some patches on the bootfloor + drivers side inner rear arch (possibly a new rear inner arch) and rear valance.
Turns out there was fiberglasss hiding some nasty rust. Abit gutted to say the least.
Managed to get a garage I think and I have a welder.. So if anyone fancies coming giving a hand over the next few weeks would be ace.
Consequently £1000 and hes yours .
