| − | '''Mini Clubman (ADO26). 1969–82 (prod. 275,583 saloon approx., 197,606 estate). 2-door saloon, 2-door estate (plus two rear doors). F/F, 998, 1098, 1275 cm³ (I4 OHV).''' Mini with ADO16 engine and bluff front end from the man who designed the [[Ford Cortina Mk II|Mk II Cortina]]. Marketed as a new, modern shape for the 1970s, but cheekiness and balance of original lost. Numerous improvements on old Mk II Minis, including wind-up windows, new dashboard and face-level ventilation, and ''two'' door mirrors (at least initially). Dry rubber suspension for saloon and estate in 1971, abandoning Hydrolastic. Automatic with 998 cm³ only. Australia (listed separately) and South Africa had distinctive Clubmans. Australian Morris Mini Clubman 1275 GT was officially a Clubman; not so with British model. Some export models had extra Austin badge on boot, so officially these were Austin Mini Clubmans; 998 cm³ models were sold on the Continent. Began to date rapidly in the 1970s as [[Renault 5]], [[Fiat 127]] and other rivals came on stream. Minor facelift in 1976 with cross-pattern grille. Saloon deleted 1980; estate continued to 1982.

Originally Clubman denoted a facelifted Mini, with a squared-off front for the 1970s. The name was later used on an asymmetric (two doors on the right side, one on the left) estate version of the third-generation Mini, and a larger six-door (four side doors, two rear doors) estate thereafter.
