another reason to love it - it was made in December 1976, the same month and year as me, so it's extra special

Attachment: image.jpeg How can we be sure the mini my husband just bought me is the model we were sold as, we were told its a 1976 Leyland Clubman GT, but since buying we have been told different.I have always liked them but this is my first that hubby bought for me. This is the body compliance plate its not the original engine |

There's no such thing as a 1976 Clubman GT, they were only made from '71 through '73 021D2S1M09 is the model number for a standard Leyland Mini Sedan - the base model. You can tell this from the body because it has add-on wheel arch flares, the higher spec (but same engine) Leyland Mini S model had flares with metal supports that were welded to the body It's a beautiful car, it can be whatever you make it - love it because it's yours, and because your husband (who loves you more than you can possibly imagine) bought it for you |

Yes certainly not a GT, and I hope you didn't pay GT money |

A genuine GT is worth a lot more than any other model in the range. If you paid a premium because you were assured by the seller it was a Clubman GT then you may want to consider your options. A pretty good description of the GT is in Register published here - viewtopic.php?f=45&t=90886 Also here - https://classicregister.com/id-guides/h ... clubman-gt ... and here - https://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/buye ... n-(1971-79)-buyers-guide |
