With the wife due to give birth at the end of the year the Mini may have to make way for a second car a bit more practical. 
1977 Clubman Estate
Around 32k miles from new (I have no reason to believe this isn't genuine)
Purchased from a family friend in 2011, it was in their family for at least 25 years, and was garaged since 1996. I've got a whole folder of old receipts, MOTs and photos.

I believe that it's 90% original metal. I think the A panels have been replaced, and both sills (not over!) have been patched.
1098cc engine, was dyno'd at 53bhp. 12 months MOT earned in May.
