Anyone got this?



Curious about the Clubman GT story it apparently has in it.

Possinly , but in the sealed 200 liter tub downstairs , I'll get back to you but it might take a while .

Anton , what about Sports Car worlds feb 71 story on the clubman range including "...a standard model , a GT and a limited volume 100hp special for series production racing" , no doubt that one was killed off before it was released .....

tis a good read!
great GT review.
i think it was also reproduced in a top test magazine, but will check on this for you tonight.
all that charger stuff makes these GT mags expensive!

cheers!

Any idea if it's the one in Sports Car road tests No. 9 ? "Clubman GT...Just for fun" ? It shows a GT with the NSW number plate CHI 335 , no mention on where the review came from though (my copy is missing the cover ...).

Sports 850,

not sure - i'll have a look tonight and let you know.
I think i have most GT articles from wheels, sports car world, motor manual and modern motor so i'll have a check-over tonight to see what is what.
There is a fair bit of duplication.
I posted a big list a while back.

Off the top of my head, it may be number three, but i'll let you know.

GT - you have a PM!

cheers!
jon

here's the list of gt stories and duplications that i have:

Clubman 12 page lift-out (Modern Motor Oct ‘71)
Clubman 4 page lift-out (briefer version of above)
Modern Motor - Oct ’71 (GT road test)
Motor Manual - Sept ’71 (brief GT preview)
Motor Manual - Oct ’71 (GT road test)
Motor Manual - March ’72 (GT review)
Top Tests - No 3 (reprint Motor Manual Oct ’71)
Top Tests – No 5 (reprint Motor Manual Mar '72)
Sports Car World - Aug ’72 (brief GT review)
Sports Car (World) Road Tests – No 9 (GT road test)
Wheels – Aug ’71 (brief GT preview)
Wheels – Oct ’71 (GT road test)
Wheels – Jan ’72 (Shamus part 1 – first 1000 miles)
Wheels – May ’72 (Shamus part 2 – Life with Shamus to 4000 miles)
Wheels – July ’72 (Shamus part 3 – Goodbye Shamus, up to 8375 miles)
Wheels – Sept ’74 (Shamus part 4 – Remember Shamus?)
Road Tests – No 21 (reprint Wheels Oct ’71)


Sports 850 - the Sports Car road test 9 is CHI 335, while motor manual top test 5 has car CHI 329.
Other reviews have cars plated CHI 331, CHI 332, CIK 740 (Shamus) and BXQ 636.

cheers! jon

OK , Sports Car worlds feb 71 has a preview story on the clubman range and upcoming GT as well . It has a yellow custom Austin Healey Sprite (CAM Sprite) on the cover .

Yep sports850, have that one too. it has a pic of a UK rally clubman (no ex hinges) and you're right, it talks of a 100hp special for series production racing, but only a brief mention of the GT - that it was coming later in 1971. The story amazingly suggested clubmans would only come in 1275 form?!? and Manton was mooted to be involved.
The main part of the story is about a startling 998 in rally spec pushing out 90hp.............

cheers! jon

A wealth of knowledge. Thats a good list. I'll copy that and keep it for reference.

i have that one anton, but i agree with minsta, alot of reviews were
just copies. I cant remember about this particular one tho

I would like to get a copy (photocopy or scan will do) of the article from SCW Feb '71 on the up-coming 100bhp Clubby.

If anyone could send me a copy that would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Watto.

I can do it for you in the morning watto , will email it to you .

EDIT- You have an email ...
