Hi, I'm going to view this clubman tomorrow It's 1972 and so Tax exempt. This is the description the seller has given.

For Sale Mini Clubman 1275

very solid example of the classic mini,partial restoration: resprayed in Ferrari red, union jack roof decal, brand new tyres fitted,alloys fitted,all new suited chrome handles (including boot),wipers, wing mirrors etc.

new carpets fitted
new battery
new headlights fitted (halogen)

buy yourself a classic mini runs well, FREE road tax

reason for selling lost interest in renovation.

requires new head lining(hanging down at back see photo)
speedo stopped working on way back from mot station.
mot advisory nearside ball joint slight wear,exhaust has slight leak at rear.
reversing light switch not fitted but present.
clutch slips but still driveable .



Really interested in buying this so could someone give me a value please?

Thanks, Ollie.

I'm going to say around, maybe just under £1000? Only because of there are many things wrong with it.

[jbs.998]

I would say £1400

[OllieTheWelder]

Haha cheers guys. Seems you made me see the reality, The problems are only really minor though (Maybe not the clutch). The owner said they wanted 2000, but that must be with room to haggle!

[scotty_18]

Exhaust could cost a little bit, clutch is hassle and ball joints can just be frustrating!

[OllieTheWelder]

Yeah, it's the clutch that worries me most. I'll see how bad it is tomorrow.

[scotty_18]

On another note, would the clutch not be easier to replace being a clubman- more room to work with?

[OllieTheWelder]

Yeah, I guess it would. Still it's not a job I fancy doing though.

[scotty_18]

I don't blame you. But finding a clubby in that state for anything under £2000 is a bargain i think.

[mini-luke]

Easier, no, more less difficult!

I'm confused did you mean 2K earlier then?

[scotty_18]

Yeah I did, sorry i just saw that!

If it was a proper '72 it would not have a reversing light.

[OllieTheWelder]

Added extra??

Added extra??

Probably, along with the rod change gearbox, turret mounted front subframe and everything else which goes with a later model clubman... but that is only speculation... from the photo provided it's very difficult to tell.
