1972 Leyland Mini Clubman  Oooh I LOVE the doors on this one, I saw some on a mini at a show over here once, the car was for sale but i thought it might be a tad excessive to buy a car for a pair of doors  ;D ... never seen another set over here since, I wish you could get them here as I think they are gorgeous   |

Josh your Babies are beautiful Love both the Mini-matics i also luv the clubbys  I used to have a 77 Clubman Auto and miss him soo much  you have probably heard this before but isn't your clubman 1100 kermy the same colour as the one Kylie minogue (aka Charlene Ramsey) in neighbours had? I can see why you wanted the Injection in the 88 but shame on you ;D You can get a Injection Automatic you know We've got one  Please excuse the mess  If you have seen my post asking how to clean an engine you'll now see why I'm asking as its embarrassing at present So come on josh how about Converting the 88 back to an Auto with some 1275 SPI Auto power  Huggz Jodie |

Its not too bad, but you can certainly feel it kick in as opposed to my 1275efi where it barely makes a difference.

You must own a large percentage of all the minis in Oz!
Very nice looking well kept minis you have there

Thankyou Clambod. We own 9. Theres still many thousands out there. The problem is we find one unregistered and put in the "too hard basket" and feel its our duty to get them back on the road. All are now registered and driving (albeit some only monthly) and then usually sell them on. Plus, how many people really only ever stick with one.. |

Thought it was about time for an update. My inlaws (bless them) decided to sell the house we were living in. So we had to downsize the fleet to move into a new place. So Kermy Klubman, Miss Matic and the green traveller van had to go. After selling these off I finally relented and let my partner have what he always wanted. A VW beetle. My only stipulation was that it had to be unusual. This is what we found..    Im all mini, and my partner is all VW. Kind of like a war in the garage... |

Certainly a one - off, that! My partner & I are Mini & VW fans too, but I've never seen a Beetle quite like that one!!!
