What should happen to the Gold clubman

[DanGT]

As things go the Gold clubman that came from the tunnel sold for £1400. What do you think should happen to it? To start things off at one end I think there are one or two good parts that could be re-used.

I'll bite. I actually don't see anything of historical significance in this car. It wasn't last off line. It wasn't a car that brought success in racing or rallying. It's not a period correct rust bucket that would be a great resto project. It appears only to be a completely shagged shell which for reasons no one is sure of ( I read the article in mini magazine or similar) was left in a tunnel. It appears to be beyond also able repeat and while reselling and keeping the vin Id is possible it defeats the object no? Oh and it's a clubman.

So, my vote is it gets sent to the scrapers or turned into a piece of retro furniture.

Reminds me of the story about LEE1, the General Lee Dodge Charger used in the first few episodes of Dukes Of Hazzard - essentially a VIN number attached to a wreck. The mini doesn't have the same provenance, but that General Lee is now owned by the golfer Bubba Watson... my point is, good luck to the buyer, restore it well and I could see a tidy profit

1275GT bonnet aperture will give a greater surface area for a BBQ. This shell is a none story and anyone getting wrapped up and coveting it is a sucker.
