After 12 years it was time to retire the 2007 Prius. I wasn't sure what I wanted, but I knew I wanted something that could comfortably fit my family of four, carry all my camera gear from home to home and also be fun. I never expected to own a Mini. That all changed when I started test driving them last weekend.
Charming style and sharp handling make the Mini Cooper Countryman a compelling choice for those willing to forgo the added cargo space.
Two weekends in a row car shows canceled due to rain, so I'm entertaining myself using a couple of internet images and doing some enhancements. This was a layer cake, 28 layers in all.
Though I have never owned a Mini Cooper I know several friends that do and they really enjoy them. I'd like to give one a spin.
This is the Mini Cooper Countryman a four door model that sits a little higher off the ground and has more room in the cabin. This model is decked out in the John Cooper Works package making it a little more sporty.
These Mini's may be a little bitty but I think that they pack a lot of fun into them.
The John Cooper Works is a derivative of the Cooper S ALL4 version of the Countryman, with increased engine power to 218 PS (160 kW; 215 hp) and 280 Nâ‹…m (207 lbâ‹…ft) with over boost: 300 Nâ‹…m (221 lbâ‹…ft). Steering, suspension, wheels and appearance have also been modified.[27] It was unveiled at the 2012 International Geneva Motor Show, and went on sale in autumn 2012.
Mini (stylized as MINI) is a British automotive marque, owned by BMW since 2000, and used by them for a range of small cars. The word Mini has been used in car model names since 1959, and in 1969 it became a marque in its own right when the name "Mini" replaced the separate "Austin Mini" and "Morris Mini" car model names. BMW acquired the marque in 1994 when it bought Rover Group (formerly British Leyland), which owned Mini, among other brands.
Glossy new 2021 Case C recolour of the Matchbox 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman which due to obtaining a full 72 count case i've ended up with quite a few in my collection. Acceptable realism with precise front and rear detailing. Mint and boxed.
Reflecting the sheer bulk of the real MINI Cooper Countryman is this rather substantial looking replica by Maisto. Taking a leaf out of the Matchbox book it too has a one piece plastic upper half to save on costs though of course you won't find an interior here.
Looking good painted in a very contemporary pale grey colour plus a decent level of front and rear detailing.
Part of a 20 vehicle set found recently at an E.Leclerc.
Mint and boxed.
Most recent recolour of the Matchbox 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman now reappearing again in one of the more recent nine vehicle sets appearing at Tesco. And yes, there is actually an interior hiding under that very dark black plastic! Mint and boxed.
Maisto have finally woken up to the fact that regular recolours of existing castings actually help to sell more! Nobody will ever do it on the grand scale of Mattel but since their budget Fresh Metal line was refreshed last year they have made more of an effort to bring out new colours.
By Maisto standards their MINI Cooper Countryman casting is still considered new but already it gets this modern pale grey finish which although not particularly exciting is at least contemporary. Quite a bulky model which captures the size of the real Countryman quite well though its lack of interior and one piece plastic upper half does remind you of its budget origins.
Part of a three vehicle set found recently in a Spanish Alcampo.
Mint and boxed.
2020 Case D recolour of the Matchbox MINI Cooper Countryman found recently at One Below. A clear plastic upper body does afford a much better view of the interior but ultimately does look rather naff and cheapo too. Great detailing and subject choice though. Mint and boxed.
I preordered this latest recolour of the Maisto MINI Cooper Countryman so long ago I've subsequently found one recently in Spain! Unlike many countries Maisto Fresh Metal products are barely visible here anymore which is a huge shame as at this price point they are far far more appealing than HTI generics!
Quite a hefty casting with no interior but accurate as far as the scale and price point will allow.
Mint and boxed.
Still a bit too cheapo looking for its own good thanks to that one piece plastic upper half but at this price point its whats expected these days. The Matchbox 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman has already been since twice in the basic line up and now features in the latest Top Gun Maverick five vehicle set. Now with a colour scheme combination commonly seen on the real thing including its blacked out wheels. Mint and boxed.
Despite having a few duplicate recolours due to the limit of how many new releases Matchbox are allowed to release each year, the new UK series does have a few exclusives to keep us happy. I'm shocked the UK has finally got its own series to sell at Tesco, yes, they have now landed at various stores though I got my first set from an online dealer nearly a month ago!
Its no surprise to see they have used their new 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman casting which looks utterly contemporary in this pale grey colour. Mint and boxed.
Latest 2021 Case C recolour of the Matchbox 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman. How can anyone resist that super rich and glossy metallic Burnt Orange colour! Mint and boxed.
Maisto MINI Cooper Countryman, a pretty new casting which takes the Matchbox approach of saving money by making the entire upper body in one piece plastic.

This degenerate thief broke into my brand new Mini Countryman S this past Saturday in broad daylight.
He did not break a window to gain access, rather he used a device known as a bypass relay attack.
I had gone to my office to pickup a few things and was a way from my car for 15 minutes. When I walked outside my rear hatch was left open. My jaw dropped because I realized my two bags containing all of my camera gear was gone.
I quickly ran inside my office and called the price, then my wife and then my insurance agent. I told my agent my gear was stolen from my new car. His first question, "What kind of car did you buy?" When I told him a Mini he said that it made sense. He then explained to me BMW and Mercedes are susceptible to bypass relay attacks, and Mini is a BMW product. This was all news to me.
I normally do not leave my gear in my car. Even though you could bot tell there was gear in my car it was still stolen.
Thankfully I am insured, and have the footage from my Owl Camera. I still feel violated, but I feel much better knowing that this crook is on BLAST! Not only has this been shared on many social media platforms I was also on the news last night being interviewed. I will post that clip too!
Brand new 2022 recolour of the Matchbox 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman. Its one piece plastic upper body does reflect savage cost savings at the brand but it is an accurate rendition and does look particularly vibrant in this deep metallic blue finish. Mint and boxed.
Burnt Orange beauty in the form of the latest 2021 recolour of the Matchbox 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman. One of several found in a full case of Batch C. Mint and boxed.
Another very smart and strangely less cheapo looking version of the Matchbox 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman, exclusive to the new UK series. I managed to source a case from the Netherlands but British collectors will be pleased to hear they are now actually officially appearing in Tesco. Mint and boxed.
Brand new metallic black recolour of the Matchbox 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman. As alway, a little bit compromised with its cheapo one piece plastic upper half but well finished and nicely detailed.
Part of the new MBX Wagons II five vehicle set now appearing at Sainsbury's.
Mint and boxed.
Definitely its most vibrant recolour yet and what a magnificent shade of metallic Burnt Orange! Hopefully a better seller than the pale grey UK series recolour which has already become a major pegwarmer here! Part of the latest 2021 Case C. Mint and boxed.
Latest MBX Wagons II five vehicle set recolour of their 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman casting. A very glossy metallic black paint colour and fine front and rear tampo detailing help avert your eyes from its cheapo one piece plastic upper half which at least on this release you can actually see its interior!
Found recently at Sainsbury's.
Mint and boxed.
2022 recolour of the Matchbox 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman which looks to have lost its interior in the relentless name of cost cutting. I can't be 100% sure but I have shone a light through and its black plastic glazing appears to be solid. Mint and boxed.

Latest 2022 Case A recolour of the Matchbox 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman which I picked up more than what I was intending thanks mainly to that gorgeous deep blue metallic. Mint and boxed.
Well yesterday (January 15th, 2011) my wife and I picked up our Black Mini Cooper Countryman with Black/Anthracite wheels. We drove 220 miles from Dallas, Texas to Edmond Oklahoma to pick it up. Liking it a lot so far. Its pretty well equipped...Automatic Transmission, Heated Seats, Heated and Foldable Mirrors, Harmon-Kardon Sound system, Dual Sunroofs, Sport Suspension, Blue Tooth, just to name a few of the options.
I went out this morning and took a few photos. The weather was rainy, but I managed to get some decent shots anyway.

2022 Case A recolour of the Matchbox 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman, one of several, perhaps too many, found recently at Tesco. A mixture of cheapo features yet really well painted and detailed but that unfortunately seems to be the way with a lot of modern Matchbox models. Mint and boxed.
Only a VERY small amount of Matchbox releases ever make it to the UK. With just one supermarket chain selling singles, five and nine vehicle sets and now the new UK series theres little space for anything else. For decades now we have missed out on their excellent Convoy range but amazingly the Toytown chain has recently got in some in and very reasonably priced at 6.00 for a twin pack.
The MBX Cabover casting is indeed generic but is entirely believable with its Euro styling and including a licensed MINI Cooper Countryman was a nice touch. Mint and boxed.
