1969 - 2009
Clubman 40 aims to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the development of the Austin / British Leyland Mini Clubman alongside the events to recognise 50 years of all Classic Minis.
The Clubman-fronted Mini was introduced to the Austin range in 1969 in the form of a Clubman Saloon, Clubman (or HL) Estate and 1275GT.
Why Clubman 40?
Mini 50 will be huge - and rightly so! But those of us who love Clubmans would also like to celebrate the fact that they have been around nearly as long as other Minis!
What's going to happen?
We will gather 40 Clubmans together in one place, with at least one model from each year of production from 1969 - 1982.
Where is it going to happen?
Clubman 40 is taking place at the Mini50 event at IMM2009 in Longbridge, Birmingham on 7 to 10 August, 2009.
How can I get involved?
1. You need to own a Clubman... Saloon, Estate or 1275GT!
2. Book your ticket for IMM2009 / Mini50. You can do this as a member of a Mini Club or as an individual. Clubman 40 will not be making bookings itself, please arrange this as explained above.
See http://www.imm2009.com/imm/ for further information about buying tickets.
3. Then either email clubman40@clubmanestates.co.uk or post in the Clubman 40 Forum to confirm you are getting involved. You can do this first to let us know that you are interested if you wish, but you will not officially be booked in until you have bought your IMM2009 / Mini50 ticket.
Either way, please make sure we have your contact details so we can keep you filled in on developments.

We particularly need cars
from 1969 and 1974! Though please do get in touch if yours is from another year.
What if my Clubman isn't standard?
Doesn't matter! Modified Clubmans of all ages are welcomed - a range of standard and modified cars will show off their amazing versatility.
What if I have put a Clubman front on another Mini?
You are very welcome to join in! Clubman fronts allow you to squeeze a bit more engine in don't they? So we want to show off that fact.... There will be a section of the display for cars in this category - WE NEED MORE! Please get in touch!
