The following Conversion is my Clubman build. The conversion is done by Jason of GTiTEC from Gosford. My orginal idea was to do the conversion myself but I realised it would take to long and possibilly never be completed I decided to have it done.

At the moment I am 2/3rd the way through a ground up rebuild of a 1964 classic mini. I hope to have the shell back up on the jig for prepping to paint, and maybe/hopefully painted by xmas. Then the Clubman will be painted the same way.

My hardest decision at the moment is what colour to paint the Clubman.

I've always thought Clubmans look great in straight Black or White.

I reckon the bronze yellow mg colour I did my last clubby in looked cool in a retro kind of way.. 70's cars like dull 70's colours, off whites, browns, mustardy yellows etc

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I have narrow the choise of colours down to three or four, white, blue, yellow, grey. I'm intested in seeing any photos of clubbys in their original colour.
