'Ginger' -  Mini Clubman Estate 998cc 1977

Ginger is a 83,000 1977 Mini Clubman Estate in lovely mace and has been treated to an HL interior and grill at some point.  There are signs of a re-spray (in the same colour bizarrely, instead of nice red or blue)

Nice clean HL seats

Ginger also has a 998cc A+ engine from a later Mini

There were issues with changing gear. We noticed that the clutch slave cylinder was of the early type and instead of a flexible hose to the master cylinder, some genius had fashioned a rigid copper pipe. 

This tyre, a Dunlop India GT, looked pristine but blew up 3 miles into a trip to the local Mini Club.
