Leylands were called Leyland Clubman originally, from 1971- but we call all them square fronted things Clubbies. :lol:
Roundnose Minis made here before that were all badged Morris, but there is the odd Austin one about now. :wink:

This is a Morris (Austins had the same front, only a different grill). they are the
"classic" mini shape. they were produced in Australia up until 1971...........

...... from 71 onwards the clubman (also reffered to as Leyland, Clubby, Square front plus other derogatory comments by biggeted round nose owners...heheh) was produced (pictured below) they were produced in Australia between 71 and 78.

Oh my how i miss my Vivian....... :cry:
