The photos is MINI Beachcomber concept, it is like a SUV. Mini Beachcomber Concept is with an open-body, which Inspired by the original Mini Moke from 1964, the Beachcomber is also being used to explore design ideas that could find their way onto future derivatives of the Countryman

Its new four-wheel drive planned to go on sale in North America in 2011.

This concept car is a preview of the new Countryman, on sale in the UK next September. It shares key elements of the four-door body and four-seat cabin, together with its turbocharged 1.6-litre engine and four-wheel drive mechanicals.
