The Mini and MINI thread

[Gunk]

After having thrown quite a few quid at it I decided to give it a proper outing today, and drove out to Buscot Park this afternoon with Mrs Gunk for a very pleasant walk in the grounds.

I thought it looked pretty good for 15 years old.

Do love the deep dishes alloys.

I wonder if the arches need cutting to accommodate the suspension travel?

Spotted by my parents house
I’ve seen it before, but generally just through an open garage door

I'd meant to ask about this on here as I'm curious. I saw it in Dumfries a couple of weeks ago. Was there actually a car-derived van variant or is a very well executed custom job?

If such a model existed, I'm surprised I never saw one before as car/vans were always popular in this country.

That's the lesser spotted Mini Clubvan. Only sold for 2 or 3 years I believe.

You really do learn something new everyday.

I've never seen on in the metal. Can't be more than a couple of hundred in the wild.

I'm sure there's a searchable website somewhere that tells you how many cars of each type are on the road / sorned.
