The Austin Mini Countryman, introduced in 1963, was a unique and highly sought-after variant of the iconic Mini. It was essentially a stretched version of the standard Mini, designed to offer increased cargo space and passenger capacity. This made it a practical choice for families and those who needed a more versatile vehicle than the compact Mini. The Countryman retained the Mini's characteristic compact dimensions, but with a longer wheelbase and a larger rear overhang, offering a larger boot and the ability to accommodate up to four passengers comfortably. This was achieved by extending the rear bodywork by almost 20 inches.

The Countryman shared its mechanical underpinnings with the standard Mini, utilizing the same A-Series engine and 4-speed manual transmission. It retained the Mini's front-wheel drive configuration, providing sharp handling and agility. However, the longer body and the added weight resulted in slightly different driving characteristics, with a more leisurely pace compared to its standard Mini counterpart. The Countryman was available in various trim levels, offering a range of features and options for buyers. It was initially offered with a 948cc engine, producing 34 horsepower. Later models received the 1098cc engine, boosting power to 40 horsepower. Despite its compact size, the Countryman offered a surprisingly spacious and practical interior, with comfortable seats and a generous amount of cargo space for its class. This, coupled with its unique design and the Mini's reputation for reliability and fuel efficiency, made the Countryman a popular choice for its time.
