There was an Oz GT..which is basically a clubman with the last of the cooper S motors, much better than the dumbed down UK version of the GT...

There's a Standard Clubbie

A Clubbie S which has offset wheels, flares, twin leading drums, a few other things..

A Clubman SS (Sunshine)..cue chris..:lol:

Clubman GT...

Clubman LS..limited run at the end of production in 78...

bud, the S on my grill is there just for fun. Josh pretty much summarised
it
Clubman
Clubman S
Clubman LS
Clubman 1275LS
Clubman GT
Clubman SS
Clubman Sunshine.

Alot there. really these days, the main good ones are 1275LS and GT's, but you pay for them. other clubby's are pretty much all the same (unless they have survived the ravages of time and have their limited edition gear still...)

I wont go too much into it as i am a bit biased in the whole thing. but more than happy to talk clubmans ALL DAY LONG :lol:

I suppose that if im looking at a clubman with flares that are a naturale extention of the body then its probably an S

Post subject: 
Not that the flares them selves should be connected to the body on a genuine s,
they sit on a metal lip and the chrome stip and riets holds them on. ...

but there is easy differences to tell the difference, but these days most of the original
stuff is gone or changed so the difference is not as big...

A clubman is a morris.
Not a Leyland.

Leyland never made "Clubman" model.

I know what your talking about but for the purposes of this
post i think it is a little bit picky Will. it will just confuse him......

Everyone calls leylands clubmans. thats what they are, just cos it doesnt say
it on the badge
