Re: Transporters
This is a Transporter, definitely not Historic, of course the nine Minis are. This is from the OzMini 50th at Wakefield Park 06/03/2011.

When everyone went bike racing with a Ford Thames my dad had one of these with some sort of 6 cylinder engine in it, apparently it was pretty quick off the lights in second....
