Description
Origins of the Mini Van Originally introduced by Austin in 1960, the Mini Van was based on the same platform as the Mini launched a year earlier, but with a longer wheelbase and taller body to increase load space. These early models were designed as light commercial vehicles for small tradesmen and craftsmen. These early models were designed as light commercial vehicles for small tradesmen and craftsmen, and by the 1980s the Mini Van was still a popular commercial vehicle, particularly with the Royal Mail, which took advantage of its versatility. Indeed, its manoeuvrability and small size made it perfect for urban mail delivery, allowing it to navigate traffic easily and park conveniently. What's more, its ability to carry equipment made the work of the Royal Mail's technicians easier, making this model a versatile and efficient tool. Our model An endearing van full of charm! The bodywork has been redone by its previous owner (there are a few minor defects, but overall the car is very nice).
All the running gear has been stripped and painted with epoxy paint, the silentblocs and bearings are new, as are the brakes, etc. Under the bonnet, the original 1, 000cc engine was completely rebuilt a short while ago and runs perfectly (the Van has just done Cannes/ Paris in one go!). The gearbox has also been completely restored. Inside, there are two original Cooper S Mk2 Recliner seats and, of course, the central speedo with its two gauges. Would you like to pay us a visit?
