The English Countryman

Product Information

The way the car rides has been a key consideration for Countryman driving dynamics engineer Simon Kruger and his team. He admitted they wanted to retain the old car’s “go-kart feel” but without compromising comfort – something MINIs haven’t always been famed for. The feeling, from the passenger seat at least, is of a car that’s still fun but more grown up than before. The report underlines the fact that life in the countryside has less than ever to do with farmers. At the last count, out of 14 million people living in rural areas in England, only 174,000 of them were in full time agricultural work, 0.3% ofthe population. However, while farming lost 33,000 full time jobs from 1998-2001, it gained 10,000 part-timers, and there are now 150,000 occasional farmers and labourers in England.

The price of corn (wheat) dominated the 19th century agricultural scene from the increased acreage brought under cultivation during the Napoleonic Wars, to the Corn Law of 1815 (modified in 1828) aimed at protecting the British farmer. Poor harvests in 1829-30 and consequent high prices for wheat, poor wages due to a surplus of workers, and the hated threshing machines which destroyed precious jobs in the difficult winter months, brought about the southern Swing Riots of 1830-32 (Chambers 1990, 1993, Hobsbawm and Rudé, Pateman, Vokes, Wotton) involving machine breaking and arson.

In Electric E guise, the Countryman produces 201bhp from a single electric motor, enough power for 0-62mph in 8.6 seconds. This version is paired with a 65kWh battery for up to 287 miles on a charge. The more powerful SE bumps power up to 309bhp thanks to an extra motor giving it all-wheel drive – MINI gives a 0-62mph time of just 5.6 seconds, but the SE uses the same battery as the E for a reduced range of 269 miles.He added: “I would sometimes go home and sob.” Tassell, who remained in the police until 1999, gave evidence against Cuthbert, who was jailed for three years in 1982.
