Dinky Toys 199 Austin Seven Countryman

The Austin Seven Countryman was introduced in 1960 as the estate version of the iconic Mini, which had been launched in 1959. The Countryman offered the same agility and fuel efficiency as the standard Mini, but featured extra cargo space and often wooden details at the rear, giving it a charming "estate" character. It was a popular choice for families and those seeking a compact yet practical car.

Dinky Toys released the Austin Seven Countryman in 1961 as number 199. The model was available in various color variations and was notable for its fine details, such as the characteristic grille and the accurately reproduced Mini profile. As is typical of Dinky, this model also featured suspension and rubber tires, making it not only a beautiful scale model but also a fun toy.

This example is in very good condition and comes with a high-quality reproduction box, which beautifully presents the model. Although the box is not original, it makes a nice addition and provides excellent protection for the car.

The Dinky Toys 199 Austin Seven Countryman (1961) is a charming piece of British motoring history in miniature, reflecting the versatility of the Mini series and a popular item for collectors.
