Classic Mini Traveller Hearse
“Bert” as he is affectionately known (a nod to Herbert Austin), is a green coloured 1964 Woody style Mini Traveller. “Bert” has been completely renovated by a Mini enthusiast and oozes charm and simplicity synonymous with the classic Austin Mini brand. Complete with a bespoke coffin deck, the coffin enters via the two rear barn doors and then rests along the passenger side utilising the full length of the vehicle.
With its generous headroom (given its size) there is ample space for a floral tribute on top of the coffin. The final journey can be completed professionally in a classic vehicle which embraces a local brand and has an appeal to those who worked at “The Austin” or who have a passion for the British built Mini and an appreciation for all that the Mini was ever meant to be.

(Although being an Austin means it is really a Countryman....)

Re: Classic Mini Traveller Hearse
I`ve owned a van, estate and a Traveller and they have always reminded me of a hearse from the rear anyway
