In 1969, under the ownership of British Leyland, the Mini was given a facelift by stylist Roy Haynes, who had previously worked for Ford. 

The restyled version was called the Mini Clubman and sported a more square frontal look, similar to that of the much larger Austin Maxi. Compared to the classic 1959 'round-front' design, the long-nose Clubman offered better crash safety, was better equipped and had vastly better under-bonnet access, but was more expensive. It was also the first vehicle to use a flexi printed-circuit board behind the dash instruments (universal nowadays, but technically advanced for 1969).

Available either as a saloon or an estate, complete with fake wood trim, it was finally replaced in 1980 by the new hatchback Austin Metro, though production of the original round-front Mini design continued for another 20 years.

Dating from March 1977, this particular Estate has had a fortune spent on it during the last few years including a full respray in 2011. Other features include a bespoke replacement interior, new exhaust, full brake overhaul, carburettor rebuild, new alloy wheels and tyres.

Said to be in good condition throughout and to drive well, it was serviced shortly before the sale and also granted a new MOT. A thoroughly practical classic, it is ready for immediate work or play.
