We've not got a Garage to put ours in, either!

A 1275GT is the UK version. Single carb. Square nose.
A Clubman GT is the Aussie version. Twin carb. Square nose.

What's the round nose version called? Is that just a GT?

The Spanish one? That was a Mini GT, weren't it?

[Jammy]

Round nose never really had an equivalent (in the UK at least), I guess the nearest thing would have been the Cooper.

This is all too confusing for me!

Wasn't the Spanish one called the "Authie" ? or is that the roundnose? x

I would say the cooper was the roundnose equivalent. The 1275GT was born because BL didn't want to pay John Cooper royalties for every Cooper made, so they made the 1275GT to replace it.

I think that's how it went anyway. If I'm wrong, it was before my time.
