I like it - cross between a mini, 1100 and a Nomad - Probably where BMC got some ideas for the Nomad (hatch back, bonnet buldge)

Plus a bit of MGBGT thrown in from the rear as well ...

Clubmanish while being a lot lower at the front than a roundie .

Would've been nice if that's how the factory did the clubby fronts,
It's only subtly different but looks a lot more cleaner and planned out.

I've always thought that clubbies should have had recangular lights , I did a mockup with Mazda B2000 lights once but couldn't get them to look "right" .

I reckon Ford Escort Mark II square lights on a Clubman front would work.

The four light fronts used on the Margraves (Vauxhaul Ventora?) worked well too.

Love it. Would be good to see them re-made.

All fibreglass I'm guessing?

Not sure , I'll see what else I can find out but I'm undecided as to whether it is on a mini (van ?) floor pan or a complete fiberglass shell .
