Thank you, KS. I too have a vague memory of seeing a picture of a factory-built Countryman model. I doubt that any still survive.....

Thanks, Andy. The car pictured seems to be a derivation of the Pick-up model, with a third door on the left hand side - and possibly a fourth door on the other side?

Very nice indeed - based on the saloon model rather than the pick-up.

Thank you for posting.
