It's a door, Jim, but not as we know it!

Anyone read the Sunday Post today.

Why Mini didn't put the door on the correct side.:(

MINI say the cost is to great and they expect most Clubmans to be sold in Europe and America.

The Fuel Tank is on the other side Fiona, theres no room for the door on the other side.

crap excuse. sorry it's all down to desgin.

i agree! sounds like they were being a bit lazy.

[Gismo]

For what it's worth, i certainly wouldn't buy one for this reason, it's a flawed design in my opinion

So move the fuel tank...

Designers day off? Bank holiday? Hungover?

I think they'll lose out on selling a load of these as a result of this. The space is there to move it, but yet they didn't.

yep, bad design, but there are already a few bad designs with the R56(blinds, compartment pack, leather interior, sound of rushing water, diesel noise....):( :( :(

I think this will put off a lot of UK families from buying one, which is a shame as the MINI all started in the UK.. :(

I agee it is a crap excuse, even the name Clubman is stupid.

The fuel tank is right underneath the car is it not. All they would need to do is move the filler neck in order to get the door in.

The door is a bit bigger than that! I,m sure they would need a much bigger hole and some better hinges too!!

I wouldn't buy one because I just don't like them
