Rally Mini Clubman.

Post by StanO'Toole »

Was in Martin Byrnes garage there a while ago as I was servicing the Passat up. You may know himself and his son Dara Byrne from Rallycross. I seen a picture on the wall which was a Clubman which he build for Ashgrove interparts.

And here is his own car.
