BMC Mini Countryman (485)


$45.99

This feature-laden Mini Countryman model was an all-new tooling despite its similarity with the earlier (448) Mini Police Van. A bold release from the Corgi team, the star feature was undoubtedly its roof-mounted surf board, complete with a plastic surfer figure. Jewelled headlights and an aerial completed the look. It was introduced into the range in 1965 and stayed in production until 1969.

Despite being manufactured for four years it was only ever painted aqua green. In an additional note for Mini enthusiasts, there were two versions of the actual car. Morris-badged Minis were known as the Traveller, whereas Corgi chose to model the near-identical Austin variant, the Countryman.

Corgi Lives Again

Ordered BMC Mini corgi model No485. These are a new reproduction of original corgi releases. At the time of buying they were not servicing Australia so I had to use a freight forwarding agent. Since they ship globally out of China it made no sense and was an added pain. Good news is they now ship to AU.

The model itself is a lovely reproduction with great cast detail and good painted finish. Worth the effort. It was 1 of 4 ordered and all were great reproductions.

BMC Mini Countryman

I have an original that is chipped, missing a door, rack, boards, and surfer. It’s good to have a shiny, new version with all the parts. I just wish it was made in England!
