If you can't fix it yourself, take it to a proper bodyman and have them give it a good look to tell you what it needs.

Mk 1 models are notorious for ill fitting doors with the external hinges but MK 3/4 doors with internal hinges fit much better IMHO-

No mate doesn't move. i think it's maybe had a slight bump as the bonnet was off aswell on the drivers side

Maybe the hinges need adjusting or the 38 year old pins in the hinges are worn out. When you lift up on the door does it move?

Hi all

just bought a 1976 mini clubman and I have realised that the drivers seems to have dropped. Is this a common problem on these old cars and what's the best way to fix the problem 

thanks
