Roundnose.. As I love the shape of my car and am yet to own a Clubman. Although saying that.. my dream Mini would be an early 1275GT on 10" Rostyles.. It's a tough choice!

Clubman all the way although i spent two years restoring my sons roundnose.

Roundnose. They look cute with big eyes and a big smile! I don't personally think the squared more conventional front from a clubman suits the small round body.

 

That said a hornet/ elf clubman conversion would probably look quite cool.

I have both but prefer the clubman especially the GT.

well seems fairly even :) I love both too, heres mine:

The Clubman was developed through BMC’s desire to expand the Mini concept, without spending too much money.

It started out as a hatchback proposal penned by Roy Haynes (the Mk2 Ford Cortina stylist), and then developed into something rather less useful......

Archive : Mini Clubman is announced

For the second time in two years British Leyland’s Minis receive a face-lift today with three new models joining the range . The Austin and Morris labels are dropped and the little front wheel-drive car will be known simply as the Mini, although it will continue to be marketed throughout the world by both Austin and Morris dealers. The newcomers are the Mini Clubman, the Clubman Estate and the 1275 G.T.

Roundnose, original and best simple as that

Have one of each - prefer the round nose on sedans, quite like the square nose on the van, though I admit working under the Clubman bonnet is sooo much easier.
