As automotive legends go, there are few more recognisable as the classic Mini. As versatile as it is iconic, the diminutive British vehicle was everything from a runabout to a rally car, style icon to a utility vehicle.
This one is certainly more from the utility end of the scale – a 1979 Austin-Morris Mini Van, unmodified and simply presented.
The van has been recommissioned recently after being laid up for several years, certainly since before 2005 when MOT records were digitised. Freshly repainted in Primula Yellow, it’s a charming and practical classic vehicle, ready to use and show, or moreover be driven as an instantly recognisable promotional vehicle. It’s also a handy way of owning a small van inside the ULEZ zone, as it’s exempt from tax, MOT and emissions legislation.
With its tiny dimensions and huge character, the Mini Van is a fabulous classic to use for advertising your business, or even using for your business if you’re stuck inside the ULEZ zone and need a small van for your work – after all, that’s what the Mini Van was built for in the first instance and the plethora of available parts and specialist expertise will make it a simple vehicle to own.
Or, how about a vehicle you can use to take to an entire calendar full of Mini events and sleep in the back of if you need to?
Here’s a wonderful, multipurpose British classic that oozes many different types of potential. All you need to do is decide what to use it for.
