He used to have his Mini parked on the lawn at the Mission Ranch restaurant in Carmel which he owned at one time (and maybe still does).

It's all custom. The rear side windows are one piece fixed car is deseamed and look at the rear bumpers.
Looking the the inside you can see a latch on the passenger door so they could be Innocenti or Aussie doors with one piece glass fitted.

He could have just popped the sliding windows out, which isn't unheard of out here in California. Easy way to get better airflow out here in the desert!

Clint has brought the mini to "The Little Car Show" near Carmel California in the past. I believe he still owns it.
The wheels are rather cool looking.
Little like Dunlop D1's. Funny, never liked Cosmics but like D1's.
Go figure.

Didn't he drive a 150 in "Play Misty For Me" ?

Nice photo Hugh!
Those are 10 inch Posi-Traction wheels on his wagon. I have a set of four of those for sale if anyone is looking for some-they are 5 inches wide. $250+shipping

I don't think it's an XK120, so my guess is an XK140 or 150.
