Austin Countryman - a third variation

 


The original and most common model has shaped wheels and a fuel filler cap on the nearside rear wing.


Later in production cast 'spoke effect' wheels are fitted. Note the fuel filler cap is still there.

Now I discover a third model - without any sign of a filler cap! I have only seen this so far on models with shaped wheels and my inclination is that this is an early casting - not at all common and which was later revised. The fuel filler on the Minivans and Police editions are on the driver's side and inset so quite different.
