GENERAL This iconic Mini Clubman Estate was sold new in Portugal and has been based in Belgium since 2017. Over the past three years, the car has undergone an extensive restoration where no expense was spared. It represents an exceptionally well-preserved example from 1976 with an odometer reading of 62,060 kilometres, carrying chassis number XLV17005823S. The car starts, drives, steers, and stops exactly as it should. Everything on this classic functions properly, and the vehicle is in overall excellent condition. BODYWORK & PAINT The bodywork was completely stripped down and repainted during the restoration process. While the original colour was red, the car is now finished in the beautiful and period-correct "Limeflower" shade, which was an authentic Mini factory colour in the 1970s. All interior metal surfaces were meticulously painted to match. No welding was required during the restoration, which highlights how extraordinarily well the metal structure has been preserved over the years. Consequently, both the bodywork and the underbody are in perfect condition, complemented by brand-new window, door, and boot seals. TECHNICAL DATA Under the bonnet lies the original 996 cc four-cylinder petrol engine, which originally produced 40 hp and 70 Nm of torque. To enhance performance, the entire intake and exhaust systems were upgraded in June 2026 with improved manifolds and an open-air filter. An electronic ignition system was also installed, which likely provides a slight boost in power output. The engine compartment further benefits from a new ignition coil, spark plug leads, spark plugs, starter motor, alternator, windscreen wiper motor with reservoir and pump, battery, and valve cover. Additionally, the fuel tank, suspension rubbers, brake pumps, and brake shoes have all been replaced. INTERIOR The interior offers a wonderful blend of originality and careful refreshment. The door panels and seats remain fully original and are preserved in excellent condition. To bring a fresh and tidy feel back to the cabin, the carpets and headlining were completely renewed during the restoration process, complementing the authentic 1970s character of the cockpit. DOCUMENTS The Mini comes with a complete set of documentation supporting its provenance and legal road status. Included in the sale are the Belgian registration documents, the Car-Pass, and the latest official Belgian MOT inspection certificate, which the car passed smoothly on October 8, 2024. Furthermore, the original import documentation from Portugal is present with the vehicle. COLLECTION The vehicle is ready for handover at the seller's location. Alongside the car and its accompanying documentation, the new owner will receive an extra set of refurbished wheels; all eight tyres included are brand new. The original starter motor, factory air filter, and original valve cover will also be handed over separately with the car. The buyer is advised to coordinate the logistics for collection in advance. FURTHER INFORMATION This Mini Clubman Estate perfectly combines vintage charm with updated technical reliability. Thanks to its painstaking restoration, upgraded ignition and intake setup, and the preservation of its original seating and door cards, this is a remarkably rare and beautiful classic. It is a turn-key vehicle ready for any enthusiast who wishes to enjoy driving a characterful 1970s estate car without worry.
