CHASSIS COQUE, clubman 1275GT

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.
