Horsepower:
Varies by engine size and tune, generally ranging from 38 hp to 55 hp for standard models, with performance variants offering more.
Torque:
Specific torque figures vary with engine displacement and tuning. Consult manual for detailed specifications.
Fuel Delivery:
Primarily single or twin SU carburetors (e.g., HS2, HS4) or Stromberg CD carburetors. Fuel injection was not standard during this period for the Clubman.
Ignition System:
Distributor-based ignition system with points and coil.
Transmission Type Standard:
4-speed manual transaxle (often referred to as a 'rod-change' gearbox).
Transmission Type Optional:
Some models offered a 4-speed automatic transmission.
Gearbox Layout:
Integrated with the engine and differential as a single unit, driving the front wheels.
Wheelbase:
Approximately 2096 mm (82.5 inches)
Length:
Approximately 3500-3600 mm (138-142 inches) depending on specific Clubman model (standard vs. Estate).
Width:
Approximately 1400-1450 mm (55-57 inches)

Gross Vehicle Weight:
Consult manual for specific GVW ratings.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Refer to manual for exact intervals based on driving conditions.
Tune Up Interval:
Recommended every 6,000-12,000 miles, including spark plug, points, and timing adjustments.
Engine Oil Type:
Historically, SAE 20W-50 or 20W-50 multigrade oil was common. Some engines used a shared oil for gearbox and final drive, requiring specific oil types. Consult manual for precise specifications (e.g., API SE/CD or equivalent).
Coolant Type:
A mixture of antifreeze and water. Consult manual for correct ratio and type of antifreeze.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Ensure system is flushed and refilled periodically.
Transmission Fluid Type:
If equipped with automatic transmission, consult manual for specific ATF type. Manual gearboxes often used EP 90 gear oil or specialized gearbox oil.
Common Wear Items:
Rubber suspension bushes (cone springs, tie rod ends), clutch wear, radiator leaks, exhaust system corrosion, and ignition system components.
Rust Prone Areas:
Wheel arches, sills, floor pans, and around window seals due to age and construction.
