I believe the answer is:

land rover

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vehicle that would' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'change hands for fan of the goldfield?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'change' could be 'land' (landing is a kind of changing) and 'land' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for land rover that I've seen is " car".)
