Congratulations on the purchase! It actually looks quite original in the photo. If I were you, I'd try to preserve the original seat material and interior trim as finding original parts is getting quite rare.
A disc brake upgrade is definitely worth considering, but if you'd like to keep your 10" wheels (which is also recommended), then you'd need to source a 7.5" disc brake kit. Also, many people report that drum brakes actually work really well if maintained properly, so discs may not even be necessary.
There is a supplier of glass fibre bonnets for a Clubman, although one of the local Mini spares suppliers might have an old straight bonnet for you.
