-There was a time when Minis were small cars. While today, they generally aren’t much smaller than other cars in their market segment, this classic Countryman was made when Mini actually meant Mini.
First, we’d like to address the fact that this is not actually an original Countryman. Instead, best we can tell, it’s a 1979 Mini Clubman estate that has been transformed into a stunning replica of a 1961–69 Mini Countryman. According to the VIN, this Clubman was originally fitted with a 1098-cc engine, but it now sports a 1275-cc four-cylinder, which in stock form produces anywhere from 61 to 78 horsepower.

-The seller states that this vehicle has traveled a mere 16K miles, but probably more important is that the car was given a ground-up restoration in 2008. It gained a number of modifications along the way, including front fender flares, Ultralite wheels, and what appears to be an updated dash.

There’s no denying that this beautiful Mini is a reproduction, and as such some may find the $28,900 price tag excessive. For the right person, however, this could be the perfect remake of a timeless, mini, classic.
