MINI John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 Dakar Limited Edition

It’s another MINI limited edition model – the MINI John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 Dakar – this time to celebrate MINI’s Dakar successes.

And the best news is that Toyota has committed to building a production version, probably due in European showrooms by 2009.
