Mini Clubman

[Chris V6 255]

Spotted this on my way home this afternoon

Spoke to BMW to see if they had a demo in & they said I cant have seen one cos there arent any in the country & they arent even getting a demo in till October or November.

 

[Josh220]

saw something about these on msn cars a month or so back. didnt think they were going to be on sale for ages. either way, ugly as hell imo

 

[DrR]

Number plate
OU07HGN comes up as just "MINI"

 

[Brand86]

They should be out before November.

One thing that is rubbish on it is its featured "suicide door" - the reason they couldn't have two rear doors is due to the position of the fuel tank.

It will be a massive seller, looks a lot better in the flesh.

 

[Max46]

cant beat the classic in my opinion

that just looks dirty.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Not the best photo
I thought it looked cool in the metal

 

[clio__chris]

are those barn doors on the back??

looks like a cross between a mini and a transit van!

 

[Brand86]

Yeah, thats a gash colour too. In black it looks great.

 

[Rage]

Even if its trying to relive a classic...still looks rank imo

 

[Ben.]

bit wierd at the fact they arnt out yet, so what is that?

 

[len_beach]

It will be a pre-production jobbie to revise suspension settings etc.

They will struggle over here as the single suicide door is on the drivers side. Numptys.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Mmm it's different I suppose.

 

[ukaskew]

Will be a test-car or something. We had the new Civics out and about around our way about 4 or 5 months before they came out.

Get the pic into auto express to see if they will pay you for a spy-shot

 

[Brand86]

The BMW car you want to be looking out for in the flesh is the 1 Series Coupe... stunning car. The 135 Coupe will be immense.

The X6 also looks set to be a big hit, we only got to see a video of it and some marketing spiel but I thought it looked cool and I don't personally like SUVs/SAVs.

 

[Leeshez]

Humm that is strange.

 

[Pete.]

Seen trailer loads going to the docks. Hope that they export all of them, not a nice looking car at all. Could never match the original and only Mini.

 

[DrR]

I saw this exact car today!

 

[Ian_182]

Is there any part of the mini brand left for BMW to exploit

ian

 

[Pete.]

They still own the rights to use the Riley and Wolseley brands. So expect a booted mini.

 

[Graham Gooch]

Jesus that looks rubbish.

 

[kully]

that looks gash

 

[DrR]

I take it thats a PS?

 

[Pete.]

Yeah it is a crap PS, took it from the Elf-Hornet register.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Yuck.

 

[_Kenny_]

that's gotta be the new bread van of choice?
