1981 MINI CLUBMAN HL ESTATE is available now at classified from Car and Classic Classifieds

Introduced in 1969, the Clubman was the fourth incarnation of the ever popular and classless Mini.  By this time British Leyland was starting to feel the pressure from imports from Europe and Japan, but Mini sales were still high and the new Clubman, with its restyled squarer nose was produced alongside the earlier round nose MkIII budget models throughout the 1970s.  

When the new Austin Metro was introduced in 1980 production of the Clubman Estate came to an end and this example is thought to be one of the last built. With remarkably low mileage it was first registered in 1981 and remains in excellent and largely original condition. It has some sensible upgrades, including disc brakes, and has had various mechanical parts replaced over the years, but it is thought to wear its original paint and trim and have its original matching numbers engine and gearbox.

Purchased by the Seller in January 2021 he “had to own it as soon as he saw it” and it has been part of his small collection of highly original cars.  Driven only occasionally the Clubman has covered just 23,572 miles from new and remains in exceptionally nice condition.
