Hi Big-Foot

As well as the MkIII and the Mk3B being significantly different under the skin as Fran said, the bodywork differences are not so subtle once you have a good look. To me, the MkIII is a very elegant car, whereas the 3B is much more aggressive, and better from an aero point of view with a lower nose, flattened off over the front wheel arches, smaller main rear air intakes and additional small intakes and a larger moulded in rear spoiler. I think the rear view of the MkIII is much cleaner.

Also the doors on the MkIII are true gullwing, whereas the Mk3B hinge to swing up and forward like the Mclaren F1.

These pics don't illustrate all the differences, but here you go anyway:
