Shockingly roomy inside. I love my tiny Fiats but a mini has much more interior space. That is why all of the body seams are on the outside, to make just that much more room inside.

Issigonis was a genius.  The only thing he missed with those cars was the hatchback.

My mother saved her pennies for years until she saw a Mini pickup with topper for sale in Hemming's. She handed her cash to my dad who rode his motorcycle out to pick it up for her. When he got there the guy had a delivery that he had just "restored" for the same $. Dad decided to bring it home instead of the pickup mom wanted.

Somewhere around Chicago dad hit a major pothole and a 4'x5' sheet of bondo 1/2-2" thick fell off the side of the van. The other side just cracked.

Mom was still mad about it 35 years later. "If I had wanted a van, I would have bought a van....."

I have removed a few posts that were lingering too close to the boarders of political content.

I wonder if Trump landscaping can build the best walls. 

I wish I could get an original Mini pickup.

I saw the title and thought, oh no, here we go. Well played. This is the best post, the very best post. The greatest minds were working on it, and said, you're just going to love this post.

In reply to 759NRNG :

In classic Minis, the clubman is just the squared off front end bodystyle.  The wagon was available long before the clubman front end was put on in the seventies in a misguided attempt to modernize the car's appearance.  A majority of mini fans prefer the original "roundnose" but in my opinion the clubman front is great for heavily modified (box flares and ground effects) race car style builds, and looks really good on a pickup, but the factory never put one together that way.

I want a Clubman. My dad had a Clubman 1275 GT for a long time when he lived in England.
