Then a longer look - no Clubman script within sticker across right rear door - compare eg /vehicle_48612-Mini-Clubman-Estate-ADO20-1980.html, plus badge on left door (which I can't read). So 81+ 1000 HL Estate but still with grille badge before 82 change. So 81 only 1000 HL Estate (unless any other local name). And a nice find.

I used this: Link to "www.minimania.com" and I decoded: X = non significant C = 1098cc 2W = Estate 2 = Clubman 5 = not sure what it should mean? 19749 = serial A = Longbridge @dsl so a 1978 Mini Clubman Estate?
