    I'm thinking more in line of: for the price of one of your mods, somebody can get into a unique MINI and join the MINI family. Even join Motoring Alliance. There goes the neighborhood.

    Come to think of it, I have never seen one whenever I am visiting the USA. However, there are a couple in the Vancouver BC area.

    Really... the rules are crazy. I was talking with a buddy of mine at the BMW dealership... asking why the prices on old parts went up so much (a few years ago parts almost doubled and getting Euro parts here became an issue. He said it was due to a law (both EU and US) that was enacted... for example they can sell me just material... as that’s not a car part, it’s textile. Interesting for sure..

    Heck I've always liked panel trucks & the clubvanster trucklet looks great to this old guy. I figured with the help of Steven at eMINIparts I could convert Babs clubster into one. Only trouble being Babs said NO! :(

    He fell victim to the dreaded PC reformat and lost his identity on M/A, methinks forever.

    Thanks Dave! I had heard the number was very low. A few years ago I saw one for sale I wish I had bought it, it would be a unique Mini to have.

    That’s what they were intended for but because they were a utility vehicle they were slapped with a very high importation tax.

    It's not a lot different like @Minidave said there is no back seat and a cage behind the front seat so nothing flys up and hits the driver.

    The back seats can be removed and a protective cage/screen installed into a base Clubman with opaque white [or whatever color is desired] over the rear windows.

    Yes, and if BMW/Mini had known about the tax they could have shipped them with a back seat then at the port removed it and added the screen. Then they would not have been hit with the tax.
