Here is an interesting article regarding the conceptualization of the Clubman with early images of prototypes.

Cool. Thanks for sharing. Being a designer, I always appreciate seeing where the initial design process was taking a vehicle in its early conceptual forms. Glad they kept the R55 boxy boot and barn doors. And that sliding window would've been weird. ;-)
