Here are pics of my little boy... Has heritage papers at home. Was bought by some guy in the UK in the 60s, he apparently came over here and brought it with him. It was then driven around the countryside for a while before being abandoned in a shed. Was then picked up by someone who got rid of it to a mechanic who sold it to the owner before me. I was lucky enough to then get it from him. Its pretty stock and will one day look like Charli (except no wood) but he is a "daily driver" project until I can get the sedan, the moke, the clubman and the convertible finished.

Very nice all-steel Austin Countryman....great find

(PS love the shot with powerful yellow Lucas electrics )

I want, I want one too... now!
They so remind me of my childhood, going to the under 7's soccer matches with my best friend's dad in their red countryman woodie.

Thanx Goodie,
trouble is I need a runner, as I have no place to restore cars anymore after the divorce and just recently the savings for a mini had to be redistributed else where

But I'm really enjoying your mini's on the forum ( its almost like I'm there )

I now own the mini shown on the first page of this thread and I'm desperately searching for info on the car. The chassis number is gone and the body number too hard to read! hopefully someone knows something about this so I can save it. Cheers, Nick
