RE: Some scarce sights here!

in #oc5 years ago

I’m not sure if they changed the name for South Africa, but that’s a mini traveler. It’s a very early one because the door hinges are external. I raced a mini clubman for 7 years in the UK. I also own an Austin a30 (aka baby Austin) which predates the mini.

Thank you and oh yeah, I saw that they call them mini travellers overseas.
They regularly change car names to suit the South African market.
The Mini Clubman however kept it's name here and it was a great little car.
I remember that one took fourth place in the 70s, amongst the Porches and other big name cars in a 24 hour race at a track here called Kayalami. Simply because there was consistent rain and the big cars had to slow down.
