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 bodywork to increase cargo space. These early models were designed as light commercial vehicles for small tradespeople and craftsmen.
In the 1980s, the Mini Van was still a popular utility vehicle, particularly with the Royal Mail who took advantage of its versatility. Indeed, its manoeuvrability and small size made it ideal for urban mail delivery, allowing it to navigate traffic and park easily. Furthermore, its ability to carry equipment made the work of Royal Mail technicians easier, making it a versatile and efficient tool.
Our model
An endearing and charming utility vehicle!
The bodywork was redone by its previous owner (there are some slight cosmetic defects, but overall the car is very beautiful).
All the running gear has been stripped and repainted with epoxy paint, the silentblocs and bearings are new, the brakes too, etc.
Under the hood, the original 1cc engine was recently completely rebuilt and runs perfectly (the van just did Cannes/Paris in one go!). The gearbox has also been completely restored.
Inside, we find two original Cooper S Mk2 Recliner seats and of course the central speedometer with its two pressure gauges.
Much more than a simple utility vehicle, this Mini Van is an endearing vehicle, with a timeless look that will not fail to turn heads. Its rarity today makes it a sought-after model, ideal for a craftsman wishing to display his originality, or for an individual looking for a versatile and charming vehicle.
