1977 Austin Mini Clubman | Paddock Wood, Kent

A 1977 Austin Mini Clubman, the squared-nose version of the Mini that British Leyland introduced in 1969. The longer front end and the dials set behind the steering wheel separate it from the round-nosed Mini and place it firmly in 1970s Britain. This car is Green with a Brown interior, a pairing that sits comfortably in that decade. It is in excellent condition, and the 1100cc engine gives the quick, go-kart steering feel that Minis are liked for. On screen, the angular nose reads as the 1970s at once, which helps film and television work set in that decade. The colour combination and friendly face give fashion, editorial and advertising photography a characterful subject, and the compact body leaves room in shot for the location. Weddings and special events suit it too. The car is based in Paddock Wood, Kent.
