Hi all, I'm wondering if you can help with a question I've had for a while now. I've got an Australian 1978 Clubman Van with what looks to be a pre-76 front subframe (two bolts on each tower and directly mounted to the body). Does anyone know whether Australian variant vans or Clubmans used early subframes as standard or has someone simply switched the subframe out?

 

Thanks!
