1961 Mini Van

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303977031662 ... Swlk5giKck

I have seen the car & document file for this, its a bit marmite but it is a Stewart& Arden vehicle (original receipt) with receipts for all the conversion work done by various bodyshops back in the day! even the Tax exemption :)

tailgate is a nice mod, I was very tempted but luckily no room for it :)
Cheers

Interesting isn't it. I saw it earlier and thought it must have been an import - due to the tailgate and the Aus (?) doors. Maybe not though.
Needs a bit of work but a rare thing :)

A friend of mine who fitted one to his road rally car was doing an event when he got stuck in snow and overheated the engine due to the lack of airflow with the car stationary

Is it me, but I don’t really get the added value there? As nice as it is, that seems a lot to ask?

I totally agree Andy. But being fair, it is a very, very late Rover Cooper with 400 & odd miles on the clock.

Although listed as in Lisburn Northern Ireland it's actually in Australia, the owners brother has advertised it in UK. I suppose if you are buying at that price another few £££ for shipping won't matter.

I love the foam filter tie wrapped on for extra intake air heat.

It is a nice thing though.

The perfect holiday home for any Mini enthusiast with a small family :lol:
Those seat covers probably need putting through the washing machine - and the kitchen could do with an anti-bac spray maybe ;)
