Mini Clubman Estate 1293cc 1980 This delightful 1980 Mini Clubman Estate was subject to some major cosmetic work a few years back circa 2004. In its file are a stack of photos showing the extent of the work done to the shell fully striped all areas requiring replacement were replaced then reassembled as we see it today and painted this rather pleasant cream colour with a contrasting black roof. Also in the paper work is correspondence with the DVLA from 2009 where a replacement engine was fitted and the owner had the V5 changed to show the new number and correct engine size of 1293cc. We can only assume that the A+ series engine that was a 1275cc unit has been over bored to the new larger capacity but have further proof of this. What we can say is that the engine starts instantly and sounds very purposeful Delivering what is described as surprising performance? The gear box is good with no unusual whines and the clutch functions correctly. Around the same time this work was done a lot of interior work was carried out including a nice dash being fitted. We can see from the MOT history the replacement speedometer changed the recorded mileage from 95K in November 2007 to 49K in 2008 so obviously the current odometer showing 56K is incorrect. A few years on now the body work is still good just one or two small areas that may need some attention in the near future. Interior is nice although the head lining has come loose in places and the current MOT is through to 16th of February 2018. 2Classic shaped minis of all shapes and sizes are now very desirable and Clubman Estates are a rare sight. Offered here with a sensible reserve its ready to go to its new owner to enjoy.
