It's not a 1970 shell.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

why not?

shouldn't it have the twin roof gutter thing?


blatantly a std clubby thats been log booked.

It has the wrong drip rail on the gutter. Pre 76 models have a lower and upper drip rail. Post 76 shells have a single upper drip rail.

Also, the early ones had a single stalk on the right hand side of steering wheel, 2 switches in the centre switch panel and a manual push button for the screen wash (no ellectric pump). The loom is completly different too.

Also in 1970, iirc, they didn't have tear drop front subframe mounts. I think they only started in 1971 (no holes in the lower front panel).

It has the correct grille badge though

All that said, it looks like a descent shell...

i thought early clubmans have twin bolt and hydrolastic,
i think nicks right,
is it worth anything cos the way i see it ,its just an 1100 with a 70 gt logbook?

If i was looking for a so so clubby it would be worth £1500 to me.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Twin bolt subframe's up to 76 and hydraulastic suspension up to early 70's (72??)

At the end of the day, it's a solid tax exempt GT. It's not the original shell, but if it was a restored shell, then technically its not the original car anyway.

Go and see it armed with the info here and try and knock his price down

I just sold a 1975 rot box 998 clubman for £950. I thought I did really well as it was basically a scrap shell with some shiney bits.

What GT bits have you got??

Apart from the badges and the log book I would doubt any part of that car has ever seen a GT or 1970.
It is no more than a 1100 Clubman, if you view it as that then you won't go far wrong.

(It's historic tax free status is a bonus of dubious legality )

Had a propper read of it. It used to be a poo flake brown 1100 clubman - hense no rust. The brown paint was really rust resistant for some reason.

Looks like a good base for a modified car as it is solid, but isn't a propper rare model and isn't tidy enought to warrent keeping it standard.

Buy it, flog the MPi interior and the shiney bits. Paint a proper colour and drop a turboed motor in it. Bob's your aunty.

My guesstimate is that it is a 1978on car.

Also from the auction questions asked by the sounds of it the car used to be poo brown. How could someone be so callous and change a perfectly good poo brown car to black.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

If you were up for selling your interior I might be interested

cant even go see it now, a delivery just came in ,
why cant dhl ever get here on time???
