yeah i noticed that, there is an article int he latest mini experience, and ClubmanGT didn't the "pork pie" aheva black grille? i kinda remeber that but can't bothered to go look. other then that and the stripe and still been in good conditon and not a torn apart burnt out shell, it is it.

P.S: how do those big one pice windows work? any problems ever, even with the top part breaking off ever? they just look so fragile to me, on my clubbie the good door has rust right at the base of the rear window holder and if you shut it useing that you almost snap it off.

It's a 1980 with only 43K (kms!) on the clock.

Yep = black grill. This one has it as well - just doesn't come out in the photo. Windows work fine although you are right about the top. Never seen one break off, but almost all have 'stress cracks' where they join to the door.
