Description

This 1967 Austin Mini Countryman is a RHD model that was built in New Zealand. The New Zealand trademarks are still present on the glass. Then got shipped to the US in the 1990s and stored away in the garage for 15 years. Since, then got refurnished with new paint, wood trim, and bumpers. Power comes from an 850cc inline-four mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, and reconditioned the head with hardened exhaust valves. Also installed a rebuilt 1 3/4″ SU carburetor, K&N air filter, Mini Spares ...

Our Take:
  • A rare Kiwi connection: This 1967 Austin Mini Countryman is not just any classic Mini—it's a one-of-a-kind right-hand drive (RHD) model originally built in New Zealand. It's like finding a small piece of New Zealand's automotive history right here stateside! The fact that it retains New Zealand trademarks on the glass adds a layer of authenticity that's hard to come by.
  • Classic charm with a modern touch: A thorough refurbishment has brought this Mini back to life with new paint, wood trim, and chrome bumpers, but it's the tasteful mechanical upgrades that truly shine. The addition of front disc brakes from the Mini Spares Cooper S kit suggests a nod to modern safety while keeping the vintage feel intact.
  • Engine with enhancements: Under the hood, the 850cc engine, bolstered by a reconditioned head and a rebuilt SU carburetor, promises not just a quaint drive but also a sprightly one! It's like giving an old watch a new set of gears—there's a seamless blend of old-school character with a hint of modern reliability, thanks to parts like the Petronix electronic distributor.
  • Cultural icon with a twist: The Mini Countryman was already a cultural icon during its heyday, often seen as a family-friendly variant of the classic Mini. This model, with its Webasto-type canvas sunroof and refined interiors, offers a hint of luxury and leisure; it's perfect for those summer drives where you want a mix of nostalgia and sunshine.
