The Appeal

You've probably heard the saying "it's only original once"—and you can't really argue with that. When it comes to more modest classics, the everyday cars practically every family owned back in the day, original, low-mileage survivors with comprehensive provenance are vanishingly hard to find.

This Mini is an exception.

With just three former registered keepers, all of which were members of the same family, this Clubman's 10,948 miles can be verified as accurate. And as the photographs show, it's delightfully original and well-preserved.

Whether you're a Mini collector or simply want the best original Clubman you can find, this 1978 example simply has to be worthy of your careful consideration.
