Get a real classic Mini, they have plenty of headroom.

Yes, if the Clubman fits, that would be a better solution than taking a chance with a model that you 'might' be able to mod.

It would seem the simplest way is to have the seat base cover removed, cut down the foam, and reassemble. An upholstery shop should be able to do it. There may also be room to cut down and reweld the mounts, but could get complicated depending. Just the rear mounts would get you the headroom.
