As the seller says it is registered as a Clubman, but as we all know Clubmans don't have a roundnose and there weren't any Mini Clubmans until 1969. It's clearly a Mk3 onwards shell, bit of an odd one...

Yeah strange one, "car is 50 years old", no it isn't. Lol

[CityEPete]

It's only done 400 miles since its last mot 11 years ago and isn't taxed even though its free, avoid!

The only thing that is 50 yrs old is the registration number. Later mk3 shell, not my thing at all, complete mis match of parts. Ding dong

I’m surprised it isn’t a rare 1960s injection prototype to be fair

Someone will still buy it sadly

 Should I worry about the way that the digits on the odometer don't line up ?

.... Later mk3 shell....

You should be beaten around the trussocks with a wet bream for mentioning the Mk3 in the same breath as this Bitsa      -it's not even an early Mk4!

Rear seat belt reinforcement bracket dates this to 1982 at the earliest ....& other parts suggests it could be 1984 on (but no later than 1988).

Come on it's fifty years old, it's bound to have needed some replacement parts, lol

Oh, of course, that's what it is.   Its last shell was probably a Clubman.

You’d think, but Clubman’s were not released until 1969, so there’s no way a Clubman could of been registered in Sept 1967, unless of course it was a typo going from the Green Log book to computer records in the 70s/80s
