   The Estate: 1960-1969

The Minivan with backseats and rear windows (and wood on some!).

In March 1960, come the van and the Morris Traveller/ Austin Countryman. Different to the estate of current day, the only had 2 doors and a boot. They were very popular and the "woodys" are very desirable now. The estates never got hydrolasic, so were always fitted with dry suspension.

In March 1961, all-steel Estate introduced. This has no wood, therefore making it lighter and it is one less thing to rot!

In 1967, the Mk II Estates are introduced which have 998cc engines.

 

In 1969 Production ceased.

Total Production:
Austin Se7en / Mini Countryman MKI : 85,500
Morris Mini traveller MKI : 75,500
Austin Countryman MKII : 22,500
Morris Mini Traveller MKII : 23,500
Total : 207,000
