I'm not seeing much Mk 3 about that shell, square tunnel, later front subframe mounts, single cable handbrake etc.
Well it does hae a drip edge....and a rod change MkIII would have a square tunnel wouldn't it? Maybe a "crossover" year 75/6?
Seems to have an S front panel
"No welding required"
Not yet anyway. With those oversills you can guarantee that it soon will..
It's an auto as well, can't have been that many of those about when new let alone now.
It is a very early one as well, look at the bonnet hinges. That sort was only in for the first few months of mk3 before they reverted back to the original design.
With the state of the floor and welding on this van, the seller was a very brave person when getting the pictures. Apparently it was fitted with a 4 killer wasp heater and went to Norway: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Morris-Mini-V ... SwUV9WnQlM
As an ex-BT wire cutter I know the abuse those yellow vans suffered. A particular favourite was to switch off the ignition for a couple of seconds whilst going down hill, then scaring passers by with the almighty back fire when it was switched back on. Please do not try this at home!

I thought only the S had hydro in 70….learn something new all the time
all early clubmans had it, I guess they where using stocks up, or where trying to promote the 'new' clubman as been a better, smoother car to ride in than the normal mk3 mini
