From the seller: “I bought this Mini Clubman back in the mid 00’s as a rolling restoration project. The engine has been replaced with a later model Mini Cooper engine from a early 90’s Mini along with the half leather interior. The front inner panels and rear subframe, subframe mount and drivers side floor pan and sills have been replaced, however the passenger side floor pan and boot floor will need replacement as can hopefully be seen in the pictures (more to follow). I stared stripping the car to try and do the restoration work myself back in around 2015, however de to work commitments and lack of funds at the time, I simply never got round to it.”
