Hi all, as some may know I'm currently restoring my clubman. It was originally an LS but it had a reshell so as a result, I'm not going to be completely restoring it to standard again.

Anyway, I have been looking for a model mini clubman that I can build or at least paint in the style of my intended finished project. Problem is, I'm having a hard time finding one. I know there aren't many out there and I know there are a fair few on ebay and alike. However, they are 1/43 scale. I'm rather hoping to find a slightly larger one. I'm just wondering if anybody knows of any that have been made, are for sale or are selling themselves?

I know there are some of those abbey/crossway metal clubman kits out there so if I can get my hands on one of them, I will purely for the rarity of it. I know corgi did some but they aren't incredibly detailed. I know dinky did some rather nice ones a few decades back, I remember playing with my dads old dinky 1275gt toy car at my grandmothers house. Unfortunately I don't think that particular car is still in one piece. Just got me thinking, how many other ones are out there?

Spark probably do the most accurate representations..... but then they are 43rds - which you don't seem to want.

In case you haven't come across them before they do a bunch of interesting variations ( on the Mini in general) including Sprints and Broadspeeds...

Cheers, Ian
