1961 Austin Mini Countryman.

The Morris Mini Traveller and Austin Mini Countryman were two door estate cars with double "barn"-style rear doors.

From the start of production in 1960 both models had a decorative, non-structural, ash wood trim on the rear body, in the style of a pre-war shooting-brake. This gave the car a similar appearance to the larger Morris Minor Traveller and gave rise to these cars simply being called a 'woodie'.  An all steel version of both the Traveller and the Countryman without the wood trim was launched for export markets in April 1961 and for the home market in October 1962, but the woodie version remained more popular.

Approximately 108,000 Austin Mini Countrymans and 99,000 Morris Mini Travellers were built. Production ceased in 1969.
