Equipment
One piece pressed metal grille, two rear wide opening doors, roof extraction ventilator, curved safety glass windscreen, draft-free sliding door windows, double dipping headlamps, floor mounted electric push start, washable headlining to cab, large door pockets, cable type door release, full width facia shelf, interior roof light.
EXTERIOR
This smart Light Commercial Vehicle Mini Van is beautifully finished in Morris Dove Grey. A wonderful uniform finish with a bright shine is a testament to the restoration work carried out in 2012. The underside is body colour and is wonderfully clean and easy to inspect to help ensure structure integrity. The flat roof panel with a single roof vent only fitted until October 1965.
INTERIOR
Beautifull Tan trim with matching door cards and facia. The directional green indicator light on the end of the stalk also functions along with the optional recirculatory heater! Tailored fitted black carpeting adds a touch of luxury to a basic interior and the Bakerlite steering wheel is in excellent condition. An iconic motoring delight in every respect.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The water cooled, overhead-valve four-cylinder engine mounted transversely has a cubic capacity of 848cc and produces 34bhp. Simple mechanics and instant parts availability allow low-cost motoring. The engine bay is exceptional. The 4-speed gearbox with baulk-ring synchromesh operates well with the original ‘magic wand’ finding gears with ease. Thoroughly useable, immense fun and a world of difference to today’s vehicles!
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Pressed steel disc wheels with 4-stud fixing are dressed in classic chrome Mini hubcaps all in excellent condition. Matching tyres have been fitted. The spare wheel stowed in a special compartment between the vehicle floor and load space is present.
