Condition
7
The car has been recently restored, with a detailed engine bay and original specification steel wheels and hubcaps. The bodywork is in good condition, with a grey color and a flat roof. However, there are some issues such as the mileage discrepancy and the difference in the 'Date of First Registration' between the V5c and the Buff logbook.

Description
Five months after the launch of the "Mini" in August 1959, the British Motor Corporation (BMC) had already launched the first bodywork variant on the market with the Mini-Van in January 1960.
Based on a floor assembly extended by 25 cm, the new delivery van offered a generous cargo platform.
In order to maximize the utility value, BMC positioned the battery, spare wheel and tank beneath the cargo platform.
Designed as a utility vehicle, the van was provided with Spartan equipment.
No chrome trims were fitted to the bodywork and the grille characteristic of the van was simply made of stamped sheet metal painted in the colour of the car.
Austin and Morris models were only distinguished by their emblem.
This delightful-looking Grey-coloured right-hand drive Mini Van left the Cowley production line in 1961 and is a rare flat-roof example with an opening vent, floor-mounted starter and 'wand' gear lever.
Supplied new in January 1961 by Fairway Motors Ltd, Southampton, then sold to it...
