It's brown. It's a Clubman. It's a Turbo.

 

 

Is there a better combination for a Mini?

 

 

 

No.

 

 

:D

Cracking looking clubman mate,I can't wait to get mine in a couple of weeks,I'd keep the interior it just suits the car! I'm going to be hunting for an interior like this soon if you do decide to sell on?
Keep up the great work

Nice project great choice in color :thumbsup:  ! though if your putting that turbo engine back in it again would invest in some bigger seats! need some better body support if your going to run it. though would understand if you kept them in would be one great looking sleeper   :w00t:  :whistling:
