That's not a UK Mini.....Swedish I think by the number plate...
Tidy example though.......love Minis - proper ones that is!!!! My first ever restoration was a 1959 MK1 Austin Se7en Mini. No seat belts, magic wand gear change, floor button starter, very basic seats, 3 1/2" wide wheels, single leading shoe drum brakes...........................and a bored-out 1400cc A-Series engine with twin SU carbs.
Went like stink and could chase Porsche cars all day long.....but was hopeless at stopping!!!!!
Never laughed so much in my life.........

My first mini cost me £60. I scrapped it after running it for 4 years and got £30 back.

Hi Steve.
I notice that from your avatar that you are from Birmingham. I suspect that the Mini van could well have started life at Small Heath where the BSA factory was. I have been to Armoury road and the old factory is still there, but am not sure what it is used for now.
All the best.
Mike.
