Launched in late 1969 the Clubman range saloon, estate and 1275GT was part of the Mini facelift program. This program standardised winding windows and internal door hinges on all UK-built Minis except the light commercials. Although rejected by some Mini Purists, its range made a considerable contribution to the Minis sales figures selling some 626,312 units across it range. The Clubman Body Shell currently available is a direct replacement for Clubman saloons and 1275GT models with rubber mounted subframes, from 1976 - 1980. It can be used for 1972 - 1976 models provided that they are converted to rubber mounted subframes. An alternative Clubman Body Shell is planned which will accept solid mounted subframes. 1969 - 1972 models had a different gear shift mechanism and other differences that would require modifications to the body shell.
