1976 Leyland Mini Clubman review from Australia and New Zealand
"Awesome fun to drive and cheap to run!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown head gasket.
Broken engine mount.
Need new clutch master cylinder.
Speedo needed recalibrating.
Passenger door window regulator broken.
General comments?
All the problems listed above were present in Mini when I bought it. I am slowly fixing it up at the moment. Usual rattles exist as with all older cars.
It unfortunately has no radio but soon to be rectified.
Absolutely awesome car to drive, and surprisingly has some grunt. Great for parking, as it can fit into pretty much any tight space.
We get a lot of positive comments from people while out and about, and it is much admired by friends and family.
Unbeatable on running cost value. $20 fills the fuel tank and lasts me ages!
I would definitely recommend this car to others.
