And to add to the confusion a little more the 'clubman' variant had a 'boxier' front end.
A friend of mine had a 1275GT at University. Great fun until someone completely trashed the inside while trying to nick the radio using a not too subtle brute force and ignorance approach!

I had a "Clubby" saloon for five years......you either love 'em or hate 'em, it seems (I'm *still* not sure of my own opinion on their looks). There's a lovely Clubby Woody Estate that comes to our car events.
Clubman Estates look GREAT if they're done right. The Clubman saloon just looks out of proportion. My car started out as a Clubman. It had some sheet metal damage on the front wings (fenders) that required new fenders. Since we were already cutting off much of the front, we fit a removable round-nose MK1 style front. I ocassionally feel guilty... But then I look at my beautiful Mini and get over it quickly.

My biggest complaint with the looks of the clubman is that it looks too "early-70's Japanese", kind of Datsun-like (excluding of course the wonderful look of the 240ZX).
I wouldn't turn one down if it were given to me, but I would start saving for a round nose.
I wonder if you can get "mini" grill treatments that reduce the clubman look?
