The concept presented is radically opposed to its competitors of the time: the VOLKSWAGEN Beetle, the FIAT 500 and the RENAULT Dauphine, all three equipped with a rear engine. To respond to a market demand for more space and a vehicle with a more chic and bourgeois style, BMC presents the Mini Countryman in 1960 at the Earls Court motor show in London. It stands out from the rest of the range for its utilitarian and family side by adopting an elongated body, an increased wheelbase, and a rear hatch that opens in two parts. To complete the picture, it features a wood side trim inspired by British and American "woodies". Under the hood, the Mini Countryman takes the well-known mechanics of the classic Mini, a small transverse four-cylinder. The evolution of regulations and new market expectations lead to the gradual cessation of wooden versions, the Mini Countryman bids farewell in 1969 leaving a lasting mark in memory.
