Can you solve the MINI Clubvan mystery?


A SOUTHPORT sign writer is to have his work displayed to thousands of people at a prestigious show in Geneva - on the side of a new MINI concept car.

Visitors to this year's Geneva Motorshow will get to see the new MINI Clubvan - a small panel van in the same vein as the original Mini van of the 1960s - on display, which features vehicle graphics on the side which reads “Hugh Buckingham Sign Writer, Southport”, giving the resort worldwide attention after the concept car was announced this week.

MINI UK said in a statement: "The company featured on the MINI Clubvan Concept shown at Geneva ‘Hugh Buckingham Signwriter’ is a UK company, based in Southport which creates similar vehicle graphics for its customers.

"The Concept showcases how these might look on a MINI Clubvan."

However, when pressed by The Champion earlier this week MINI were unable to confirm any further details about the firm, or give any more details as to how the tie-up with the Oxfordshire-based car company came about.

The Champion also tried to track down the sign writing firm to hear more about the promotion its work would get through the MINI Clubvan concept, but despite efforts to track down the company no details could be found before this week's edition went to press.

Are you the Hugh Buckingham whose work is featured on the van? Get in touch with The Champion on 01704 392404 or send an email to david.simister@champnews.com
