Quite agree Col, I owned a Clubman estate in the mid 80's, and was forever working on it, got used
to skinning my knuckles when working in the engine bay, what finally saw it's demise was the A pillar and door post
finally rotted through, I had to lift the drivers door to shut it, the footwells were permanantly wet, so much it rotted
the carpet, which cause the inner sills to rot.
plus it was that horrible bmc fawny beige colour, only thing it had in it favour was the one piece rear door which opened sideways.
Funny thing is I never had a problem with either subframe.
