Surely the clubby tail-lights are a dead give away - <edit> as Watto has pointed out.

Clubbie lights, clubbie rear bumper, clubbie badge, Leyland badge on the door pillar, etc.
Then there is the front and rear shocks...

Looks can be deceptive, especially from this angle.

So, is this pic of a round nose or square nose?



What about this one? Roundy or Clubby?

height of the front bumper gives it away - a little more cropping and your illusion would be complete :lol:

Headrest, trim colour, dash pad, lack of chrome around the door, inside mirror, outside mirror, etc. all give clues to what it is.

Yes but all of those assume originality and are easily changed. A bit harder to change where the front bumper is attached.....

Oh I know that, don't get me wrong. I was just saying to look at the whole package rather than getting fixed on one point. The trick is being able to identify what the car is after someone changes the front from Clubbie to Roundie. :lol:

I would have to disagree as most of the K's I have seen only have a single tank
