    Well done! Love both these cars. What's the running gear? Had a Clubbie Estate years ago, so always had a soft spot for them and the van.

    Nowadays, a 'Resto' Clubbie or a wee van, but with a hot 1293 and decent brakes etc etc would be a perfect 'Sleeper' to sort out those modern motors.... Practical too.
    I would probably kill myself in one of those now though!

    They are both currently running 850cc lumps on wand shifts.... White one running cooper s brakes and rims... Van on drums.... (easier getting out and running round the front and holding the bonnet to slow down...)

    Classics rock..... If only I had more space....

    Wish I had room for your van!

    I could never afford discs when I had my 1000 HLE (which I had after the Clubbie, which was really my Mum's). It had a 95bhp 1275, on 'Super Minifin' drums. They used to work for the first 10 minutes, then it was a case of fervent prayer versus the laws of physics! Don't know how many lives I used up in that car - that's why I'm so sensible these days... and why I have such BIG BRAKES
