New to Mini Ownership - I bought a Clubvan
Discussion
Hello All,
Long time PH'er here. Just thought I'd touch base in a new area of the forums following my acquisition of a 2013 Clubvan. I'd been on the hunt for the right spec/colour combo for about 6 months when the right one came up for sale just half an hour away from me.
Absolutely loving it so far. It's a great car with loads of character, and generates plenty of interest. Already having a bit of fun with the addition of some decals.
Cheers,
Olly

Reason for a Clubvan as opposed to a Clubman;
1) Most of the time it’s just me in the car, so not having a 2nd row of seats isn’t an issue. But still having cargo carrying capacity is essential.
2) I wanted something interesting/fun/quirky.
3) I didn’t want a used car that was just going to tank in value. The difference in prices between ’vans and ‘mans is really interesting.

Yep, it's definitely a rare spec'd car. Xenons, heated leather seats, infotainment pack, etc, etc.....
It even had the standard fit roof rails deleted and the Clubman spoiler fitted instead.
It's got the 1.6D (N47) engine.
80,500 on the clock when I got it.
Vans seem to be selling for 2 to 3 times more than equivalent millage / age Clubman's, which are often much more highly spec'd.

That’s a pretty cool van. Some interesting modifications you’ve done there. I’m going to keep mine standard, the decals will be peeled off eventually.
Love the humour with the engine stickers. The key seems to be regular oil changes and a chain replacement at the right point in the engine’s life.
