Morris Clubman is pre 73 ish.

Thats a fact.

NOT...
Clubman NEVER had a Morris badge.
The Clubman and Clubman GT were superseded by `Leyland Mini, Leyland Mini S etc which are Clubmans as the world knows them. 8)

Yes. :)
There was no "Mini GT", in Oz anyway. It was called a CLUBMAN GT, and came out in 1971, well before the so-called Leyland Mini and Leyland Mini S. Was basically a Cooper S in a Clubbie shell. It had balls, unlike all the `Leyland Minis' after it. :lol:

Yes they did.
Leyland bought BMC in 1968. So they really did make the Clubman (and the Morris Mini K and the Mk2 Cooper S.)

The pom early Clubmans were badged as Morris and not Leyland.
The Leyland name was only used on cars in Australia and not in England.

Well according to Beefa he is a 1972 LEYLAND Mini Clubman, he has the orginal plate on the engine bay and the badges all over to prove him a Leyland.
Is this right? He has the original badges and everything.
