Haha. What a neat trick. You'd have to be pretty accurate with the controls though and not leave the braking too late.....
A lot of work went into that Mini didn't it. Note the Australian (possibly S.African) doors? So possibly the whole conversion not UK?

One of the big attraction's at this year's Caravan and Outdoor Leisure Show is a hand-built Mercedes mobile home that carries a mini van in its boot. The mobile home is the creation of Newcastle body builder Wilton O'Neill.

Also found some background on the company, Newcastle NSW Australia, which still exists today:

At the turn of the last century, blacksmith and wheelwright DJ O’Neill had set up in the tiny township of Burraga, NSW where he manufactured and repaired horse-drawn vehicles. He later moved to Blayney and then to Newcastle – and by then, the work had shifted to automobiles. By 1962, his grandson Wilton O’Neill was the director of O’Neill’s Body Works Pty Ltd and the company employed eleven people who
specialised in motor body building and smash repairs.
