There are a few different clubman models out there,
No Australian versions have ever been produced, which means they all have internal door hinges.

the newest ones, with great detail are from Spark:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Spark-1-43-Mini-Cludman-Estate-Green-S1508-/260675140461?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item3cb172fb6d#ht_538wt_1139
Image

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/AUSTIN-MORRIS-MINI-1275-GT-1969-RED-1-43-SPARK-NEW-/200529154036?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_146&hash=item2eb0780ff4#ht_2275wt_1139
Image
Yes, the UK 1275 GT, a different beast from the Aussie one

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mini-Clubman-Yellow-1969-Spark-1-43-/350405389938?pt=Spielzeugautos&hash=item5195c9ee72#ht_1577wt_1139
Image

These are usually available for around $60 to $80 posted from overseas, or retailers in Aus put about $100 on them.

Then you have the white metal kits or built from Crossway models in the UK, much more expensive, but very good including engine detail if chosen:

crossway on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Crossway-Models-AC02-MINI-CLUBMAN-SALOON-Harvest-Gold-/390251339335?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item5adccade47#ht_530wt_905
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Crossway-Models-Abbey-AC03-MINI-1275GT-Harvest-Gold-/390252400291?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item5adcdb0ea3#ht_728wt_905

Kit form:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Crossway-Abbey-MINI-CLUBMAN-1275GT-Kit-FREE-UK-P-P-/390151139198?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item5ad6d1ef7e#ht_765wt_905

There are various other plastic toys from the 70's, as well as White metal or pewter small scale versions (1/92 - 1/130) that are nearly impossible to find.

Good luck!

Matthew

Another option is the clubman body made by Antonio Soares (he's in Europe and I've come across him on another forum) , he also makes a mini pickup body and both are to suit the Fujimi mini kit's (which are getting hard to find now and don't have engine detail ) . Bubbaclubby has a couple of the bodies he bought back from the UK mini trip from memory . I've been trying to get a hold of Antonio for a while as another friend is looking for some of his bodies but he's hiding ....

this one looks odd - the windscreen is too short, and the front mudguards are too tall
