 Welcome
to
The GT
Spot! Australia's ONLY website
dedicated to the Mini Clubman GT.
The last Australian factory built
performance Mini, produced from mid
1971 until the end of 1972. Only 1200 of
these cars were built, and today they
are considered very rare and
highly collectable!
This website presents accurate
information, sourced from books,
internet forums, official Leyland
Australia documentation, NSW Mini Car
Club publications, and word of mouth.
Thank you
to everyone who supplied information for
this online resource.
For Mini
Clubman GT enthusiasts, this is

MINI CLUBMAN GT - AN
AUSTRALIAN MINI ICON |
 |
 The
Mini Clubman GT to the Australian car
market in July 1971. Some people claim
it was produced to use up the remaining
Cooper S spares that Leyland had in
stock at the time, however this was far
from the truth!
The Mini Cooper S was a HUGE success in
Australia, and Leyland wanted to
continue producing a performance version
of the Mini.
The Clubman GT was also very popular in
New Zealand, and it should be noted that
it was vastly different to its UK
counterpart - The 1275GT.
In January 1973 Leyland Australia ceased
production of the Clubman GT, and this
represented the end of an era for true
performance Mini's in Australia.
