Hey all,

 

Got a choice of a round nose or a clubman to buy - apart from the bonnet shapes are there many other differences between them?

 

The clubman is a 1974 998 cc

 

The roundnose is a 1982 998cc

Yep the front panel, wings, inner wings, and bonnet are the only body panels that are different. The only other thing is the rear bumper originally was different I think being squarer. I would go for the clubman.

I'd love a clubman, depending on condition of course! But clubman for me, it's tax exempt too!

If it was me I'd get the one that has the least rust

Clubman all day long ;)

Both have plus and minus points but both are minis.
Either one is cool

A 74 car is going to more desirable, assuming it is original.  Tax exempt, more classic stying etc.

Clubman has more room in the engine bay as well

74 Clubby will be a Mk3 with solid mounted subframe amongst other age related differences.

Clubmans didn't win the Monte Carlo, nor were they in the Italian Job.

Just saying like ;o)

Lots of love for the clubman here. Wasn't too long ago you couldn't give one away. How times change eh?
