The prototype Clubmans with rear ends to match.....I quite like the hatchback one, a hint of Marina Coupe?

Silly ass: The aims of this experiment were to provide the Mini with improved styling and a larger boot. However, Haynes appears to have achieved little more than making the car look like the result of a nasty car crash between a Vauxhall Viva HB and a Hillman Imp. Thankfully this version remained behind closed doors (Picture: Mini, by Rob Golding).

 

The Clubman was developed through BMC’s desire to expand the Mini concept, without spending too much money.

It started out as a hatchback proposal penned by Roy Haynes, and then developed into something rather less useful.

There was a 3-door clubman prototype developed in SA in the 70s, with the aim of replacing the standard mini.

I've seen a mini with a clubby front end and the mk3 (SA mini with the boot) body. Looks quite cool.
