My first clubman was one of these.

1972 clubbie with centre speedo & magic wand.

It was in no way original, but underneath the purple paint was a colour similiar to that one.

Cheers for the comments guys, the poor bloke just came along to get the car approved for historic reg and we all just swarmed on him to have a look!

I think he has only had it since the start of the year and it has new SA plates on there so it could very well have come from interstate and be a SCC Mini.

Kevin said that if it was a PMG mini it would have been painted red and all the paint under the bonnet and inside looks like it has been that colour for a long time.

Not sure if he said whether he was coming but I hope he brings it up to the mill this weekend!

Actually after sleeping on this, I think somebody hit it on the head !!!!!

The Sydney County Council poverty mini cars were a yellow colour and the Water Board (or was it Gas Company ??) were that green colour. They are essentially used by meter readers for electricity, gas and water.

Its little surprise so few survive when you think of the number of times the operators would have stop started and in out of these cars in a day.

Damn you Mike, make up your mind before I agree with you.
The Prospect County Council had that colour.

That colour being ???

From memory quasi government corporate poverty minis came in a

1. Yellow ???
2. that green ???
3. Sky blue and a grey - police station cars

which is correct and where there any others.

Mike

Also - didn't AGL (gas company) also have a fleet ???

Mike

Ok just to muddy the waters some more

Here's what my van looked like - this is the close to the original colour, which had a bit more green (as found inside under the hoodlining).



It's a May 72 build, centre gear change, no sticker on it for the paint...

Possibly another of these fleet cars??

cheers,

Jacob

Yep - its another - if its an electricity company car as suspected then they propably carted around replacement power poles in it.



Mike

The 71/72 Vans were all poverty models, They all had the single dash and magic wand till 73.

That would have been some serious over hang out the back

I would like some more info on these 1100 clubmans as I think I have a van like the one in the pic VulcanBB18 posted that I am currently restoring, from the pics of the inside of the sedan it looks very similar.
