Maybe a broken leg from the pedals but quite good. i'd say 3 stars by todays standards. 10 years ago 70% weren't even that. Any idea what speed this is at? |

I would say 30mph comparing it to this BMC film at the 2min25sec mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVTI4tXHGYE I would hate to have a head-on at more that 40mph. |

I had one with a tree at 60MPH in 1965, and I'm still here. Luckily the gum tree (smallish) bent back and absorbed much of the energy. |

its got the crumple zone holes in the inner guards too. So its a very late GT (like 73ish model)... Thankyou for sharing Doug. |

Fantastic source of info as always Doug. Looking at things GT .. the engine steady near the radiator haven't seen that on a GT before .... another sign of late build I presume.. Interesting - has standard style gearknob not "Clubman" or GT type .. |

My accident in my first clubman resulted in very similar damage. Dislocated right knee cap and tore the muscle over the knee from the right leg on the brakes and a fractured sternum from the steering wheel, all good fun!!!! Approx speed 60km/hr at impact |
