    You'd have a better chance buying a Wino than that Rino. And what the heck is a Rydno?:confused:

    And getting back on topic what's a 1955 Austin Countryman Station Wagon

    NOT a Healey, just an Austin A40 Countryman wagon (shooting brake).

    Austin also was associated with vehicles for other companies, which gave us things like the Austin-Healey, and the Metropolitan (which Austin built over 100K of them for Nash/Hudson/AMC), and other cars.

    The Austin A30 was the predecessor to the Austin Mini, and when the Mini came in, the wagon was also known as the Countryman. Oh, and that is not fake wood. That is structural on these old Austins, even on the Mini, the same as the Morris Minor. NEAT little car, but do not expect scintillating performance. 0-60 is likely measure with a sun dial. It likely has about 40 horsepower.
