MINI Clubman

[Herbert Austin]

You may spot a common theme within this thread, I have owned a few Minis in my time.

Here are a few photos I have of some of the classics I have owned.
An '86 Mini Piccadilly, 88 Mini Jet Black, 88 Mini Red Hot, 1990 RSP Cooper and 1998 Cooper Sports Le.

As you can see I tend not to leave any cars alone and personalise them.

Back in 2007 I needed a new daily so with the sensible option being a diesel saloon car I bought a Supercharged MINI.
Over the past 10 years it has been through several sets of wheels, change in dash, door trim, steering wheel, dial faces, boot spoiler and some tuning parts.

100,000 miles later and its still going strong

A few years later and my Wife needed a new daily driver, again a diesel saloon was the sensible choice.
Obviously we bought another Supercharged MINI.

Another few sets of wheels and some tuning parts were needed.

My Mum needed to change her car, again a diesel saloon was sensible so she bought a Grey Supercharged MINI

She used that a few years a then needed to change again, so this time she really did need a diesel saloon car

So one trip to Prentice's later and she was the proud owner of a JCW Clubman

The only addition to it has been a suitable number plate

 

[Rocko]

Superb plate!!

It was time to change my Wife's car, so it was agreed we would sell her MINI.
She would use mine and I would buy a replacement.

I started the search for a suitable diesel saloon car and obviously I bought a Turbocharged MINI Clubman

An appropriate number plate was acquired and test fit of some spare wheels

Love the blue but then my JCW is the same colour.
We have 3 Mini’s in our household with the possibility of getting another.

The F56 JCW is a great going beast

I love Electric Blue, such an easy colour to keep clean.

Had found a JCW Clubman in a very similar colour and was tempted by it, but the red Cooper S Clubman won out in the end

I love it, first manual in approx 5 years, lots of torque. More fun in it than my Golf R.

I had a Mini 1100 Special in the early 80’s with straight through exhaust. It only did about 20mpg but handled like it was on rails.
Used to need the head skimmed every few months.

In the recent cold weather I had a frozen water styling feature

Then managed to practice my snow ploughing

Availed of the opportunity to purchase genuine MINI roof bars and matching MINI roofbox
