1978 Classic Mini Clubman Estate 1275

For enthusiasts looking to take on a classic restoration project, this vehicle could be the perfect opportunity. While it bears the marks of time and could use some tender loving care, its body remains in surprisingly good condition given its age. There is minimal deep rust, making it a solid candidate for a restoration endeavor.

Notably, the vehicle features an impressive new set of metal side window runners, along with recently installed rear barn doors. The bottom upper sill panel and new sliding window trims add to its potential, suggesting a promising foundation for someone willing to invest further in its rehabilitation.

In terms of work needed, the driver's footwell has a minor rust issue that has led to a small hole. Additionally, a small hole near the rear subframe mounting point requires attention. The rear subframe needs replacing, and new indicator and wiper stalks are necessary for restoring full functionality. Fortunately, the front engine loom has already been stripped and revitalized, with all corroded and eroded wiring replaced and rewrapped to ensure it is ready for the road ahead.

The left-hand rear panel has previously been replaced, and although the paintwork has suffered some damage from an overprotective tarpaulin, these cosmetic issues can be remedied with a fresh coat and professional touch-ups.

The vehicle has been off the road since before the pandemic, providing an excellent opportunity for a dedicated enthusiast to bring it back to life. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out for more information and explore the possibilities that this classic project vehicle has to offer.
