[30] It should be noted that the
Citroën DS that was eventually awarded first place had illegal white headlamps but escaped disqualification.
[31] The driver of the Citroën,
Pauli Toivonen, was reluctant to accept the trophy and vowed that he would never race for Citroën again.
[32] BMC probably received more publicity from the disqualification than they would have gained from a victory.

The Clubman Estate took over where the Countryman and Traveller left off.
Production of the Clubman and 1275GT got off to a slow start because the cars incorporated "lots of production changes" including the relocation of tooling from the manufacturer's
Cowley plant to the
Longbridge plant: very few cars were handed over to customers before the early months of 1970.
[35]Early domestic market Clubmans were still delivered on cross-ply tyres despite the fact that by 1970
radials had become the norm for the car's mainstream competitors.
[35] By 1973 new Minis were, by default, being shipped with radial tyres, though cross-plies could be specified by special order, giving British buyers a price saving of £8.

It was the first Mini to be equipped with a
tachometer. It also featured a standard-fit close-ratio gearbox. Performance of the 1275GT was lively for the time, achieving 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 12.9 seconds, and the excellent midrange torque offered a 30–50 mph (48–80 km/h) time in top gear of only nine seconds. The bluff front, however, meant that the model struggled to reach 90 mph (140 km/h).
