Specialising in Quality Classic Minis and Mini Variants
CountrymanSport
The Countryman Sport is built exclusively by M-tech of Somerset
England, Mini Specialists.
It is the result of many hours of skill and expertise
to bring to you a car of the highest quality for your enjoyment.
The concept is based around bringing the classic Mini 'Woody'
up to date with winding windows, supportive leather seats,
decent brakes and a larger engine for modern performance.
The M-tech Countryman Sport is built with almost all new
or reconditioned parts in order
to achieve reliability and longevity for the long term
enjoyment of its owners.
The M-tech Countryman Sport may also be seen as a rare and sought
after investment still available 'new'
despite the Mini Classic no longer being available from the
factory.

Rear Arches on Sportspack Option
Due to the increased width of the Sports wheels fitted, enlarged
rear wheelarches are fabricated by hand.
In order to ensure the aesthetics of the vehicle are not spoilt,
this is carried out by keeping the outer ‘sight line’ to
the same width as the original, a taper is then introduced towards the body
of the vehicle to a similar style as the front plastic
arches. A taper front to rear is also introduced to follow the line of the wheel.
