A final edition of the Mini Clubman is being produced in a limited number to mark the end of a model that was first launched in 1969, writes Brian Byrne. Adding a wagon to the iconic Mini two-door saloon of the time, it had split rear doors, a feature which was retained when the ‘modern’ Mini version was introduced in 2007. At that point it also got a rear-hinged single extra door so passengers could more easily access the rear seats. In 2015 the car got a further stretched wheelbase, allowing for two rear passenger doors. The Final Edition will be limited to 1,969 units globally, reflecting the model’s year of introduction. Just 100 of those will be RHD for the UK, and presumably the Irish, market. Just one specification — a Cooper S engine, ‘Exclusive’ trim, and choice of Black, White or Silver exterior paint colours. If you’re in the UK, you can pre-order one for £37,000 OTR.
