A rotisserie is what you can put your mini (roundie only) on and it spins it around on an axis longways so you can get underneath it and work on it while standing up. quite useful if you are restoring a shell. im sure a petrol tank or fliuds in the engine would not go to well up on its side!

being the owner of a clubbie, i asked the same question!

i think it has something to do with the panel behind the rear seats, i think in roundies it has a hole, while a clubbie has the hole filled in. not too sure about that one.

also maybe has something to do with where the speedo goes (in the centre), i think there is a hole in the firewall?

but i know for sure, because the grilles are different, the clubman grille frame gets in the way of where the rotisserie axle has to go. its a bar that goes all the way thru the car

Yep, to be mountable on the rotisserie you have to have a big hole down the guts. very awesome. better than if you were to drive it over a pit, you would get sore neck and arms, and risk getting things in your eyes!
