there are a few 1/24 scale models available: 1st gens, Justa R53, S, Conv S, Countryman but no Clubman :(
I'll try and get some pics of one of mine that is 90% complete.
I built a 1/24 scale model of all but a cpl of the cars I've owned over the years.
KDub - Very nice part of the old MINI Challenge series. Most of them are NLA. Like the Red Nose Day MINI Challenge model. The new modles are here and labeled. http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/Mini_Die_Cast/ If you are looking for a certain model let me know.

An F56 model offered on eBay. It is small scale (1:64), but may be a lead to a company that is producing F56 models.
I'm pretty sure I forgot to post these back in October. Found on my first of what will be three trips to Jakarta in four months (!)... 'OFFICIALLY LICENSED' you say? My kids love em, though, right into the collection...
Just going through and resorting my closet to see what I could clean out and lo-and-behold, what do I find in my stack of model kits...an R53 kit from Revell from back in 2001-2002 timeframe. As you can see it was the "ALL NEW MINI COOPER" per the large splash on the box top. Guess I always liked MINI's and that particular model caught my eye at some point. Since I have only owned my first MINI for less than 2 months, I guess I fulfilled some sort of prophecy, eh??
Now to maybe some day find one of an F54 Clubman. Wish GMP made some of our models, they make nicely detailed ones. Have a few of my SVO, so that would be a cool addition to my collection.
Kyosho makes the best 1/18 MINI's, but the AUTOart's are good, too. GMP made some of the best American cars in the early 2000's. Do you have the GMP SVO? I think they were the only maker of it in 1/18.

Nice, funny it states R53 but its an R50, I remember those. It was maybe the first model car out for the new MINI other then the dealership diecast. I have some rare ones from back in the day that are dealer promo only.

Yes, I actually had (3) GMP SVO's, (1) 86 and (2) 84's. Sold one of the 84's a few years ago to a fellow SVO owner...no need to have more than (1) of each made.
Does anybody still collect the hot wheels 'pop off' morris minis? LINK TO WIKI
I was starting to think the orange one would be the last of the pop off body styles, but a new one appears to be available as 1/5 in the new Forza 7 set: sorry for ebay link, but it's the best pics.
On a related note, it's shameful I think that hot wheels has a 'checkmate' series and none of them are minis. W.T.F.
I have a bunch of Hot Wheels and Matchbox Minis, haven't found that Forza one yet but I knew they released it. Looking through that Wiki page, I have about half of them with at least one duplicate of each.
They stopped producing the Pop-off chassis a few years ago and all the new ones have a rivet in the rear to hold the body on permanently.
I have an update re the forza mini. It's a pop off like the orange, red and green ones from a couple of years ago so no roll cage. Best price I've seen is about ten bucks which is good for the level of detail. Now made in Thailand.
I've got a 50ft. wood slot car track in a bedroom
I've got an 05, S Mini.
I have this slot car apart, so I can sand it smooth and paint it silver like the full scale version.
At some point, I'll most probably build a custom wire and brass frame so it'll handle better than the chassis it came with.
