Is it me, or is Mark Fowler from Eastenders in the pic posted by jay30 of the rear of the clubby hornet? In the brown leather jacket! LMAO!

It could be as he owned a Rover Mini Cooper in real life whilst doing EastEnders.

Yes that's the very one I was describing from many moons ago: -

Well I seem to recall there was a prototype of a Mini Clubman with the Elf/Hornet rear end.

But back in the late 1980's, such a hybrid looking car used to appear at the Mini Shows (especially the NMOC day at Stanford Hall). It had a Clubman front, Elf/Hornet rear (wings and boot) and a Wolseley Hornet grille badge.

It also had Dunlop Denovo run-flat tyres too, so I doubt it got used much and it must still exist somewhere?

And I always liked it, complete with the Dunlop Denovo wheels/tyres. But where did you get that photo from?

It seems that BL had created a prototype of this car back in the late 1960's and it appears in the Rob Golding book "Mini After 25 Years' & 'Mini After 30 Years' etc: -
