Yup early Poverty pack clubbie, you had to pay more$$ if you wanted more than a single guage in the middle I think, but dont quote me on this but a few were used by local shire councils in and around sydney, but im sure someone on here knows more about them than i do............Calling Morris1100

Morris1100......

Come on down!

Worth $5,500? Looks like a good car for a feature by Watto if original as it looks........

Yep thats good, Think they called them a povertypack clubman
Vinal floor and wondering stick and on dry suspension and roundy clock.
Car number 337 seems an incredibly low number for a 72 model... that bit doesnt sound quite right

Looks very good though, i think the interior may have been changed?? as early clubmans had heatpressed interior, so would assume the povertypack clubman would also.

I think this was called mini 1100

Wait till Watto or morris 1100 comes on that will be able to clear my uncertainties.

Dont you mean 837 sounds a lil bet better

If he took that number straight of the comppliance plate which i asume he did as he mentioned YG2S6, they start at 500 (837 - 500 = 337)

Like my gt whose number is YG2S8 1330, but is car 831

I,m pretty certain its genuine ( the radio is'nt ), those were the real Clubman's , I,m sure they were using the last of the Mini K interior bits in combination with the newer bits and pieces , Mini K engine and gearbox as well. Not too many of them around in that condition , if I had the reddy's and the room

As everyone else has already said it is a Mini 1100. It is in Sydney County Council colours, they were one of the main buyers of this model.
The main differences between this and a Clubman is the dash, gearshift, interior trim, hubcaps and dry suspension.
They were not a special model to use up K bits, they were a planned model based on the cheaper Mini Panel Van.
The idea was to be able to list a very cheap model to lure buyers in (as well as having a cheaper model for fleet sales) Once the buyer was in the showroom the saleman then tried to up-sell to a Clubman.

Like Bubbacluby said, it is a very low car number which indicates how many (or few) of this model was made. (337 is right)

It is a good looking car in great stock condition and I hope it goes to someone who will appreciate it for what it is and not destroy it.

Not a bad original car for $5k.

All Clubmans used the same mechanicals as the K. Even the early Leyland Mini used the same mechanicals.

bargain buy of the year I say!! Id love it,
