A delightful BMC Morris Mini Van professionally restored and tastefully modified.
EQUIPMENT
Two rear wide opening doors with safety glass windows and automatic check rods, sliding side windows, curved safety glass windscreen, double dipping headlamps, washable headlining to cab, large door pockets, full width facia shelf, interior light, electric horn, sun visors, heater, two-speed windscreen wipers with flick-wipe, fuel gauge, warning lights to show flashers hazard lamps working, headlamp high-beam, low oil pressure and no charge, mixture control.
EXTERIOR
This professionally restored Mini Van is finished in Old English White and presents beautifully with a bright uniform finish. Rebuilt in 2008 by Mini specialists, Mini Classics of Worksop, this example has undergone a full restoration and subtle modification, all documented both photographically and in the history file. All panels are sound and the underside is well presented in body colour with no excess underseal to hide important areas for inspection. The body still has the correct punched steel grille front panel, external door hinges and hinged roof vent. A lovely yet miniature slice of motoring nostalgia, a guaranteed recipient of fond admiration.
INTERIOR
A touch of somewhat luxury from the utilitarian interior the vehicle was born with! Seats have been meticulously reupholstered in period correct Monte Carlo Tartan vinyl that is used throughout the 13-piece re-trim set. A special Mini Van carpet set has been fitted and remains as new, even extending to the very clean rear load area which is correctly painted in body colour. Tasteful touches such as the wood veneer and chrome steering wheel and upgrade oval instrument cluster tie in nicely with the overall subtle theme. Delightful.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
A 1275cc A-Series engine offers a welcome power increase from the standard 39bhp that the original motor was rated at. Bonnet up exhibiting is a must with everything beautifully cleaned, refurbishment and detailed, yet retaining all of the classic aesthetics that the iconic A-Series deserves. The spritely performance easily keeps up with modern standards and the tight handling and raspy exhaust note are truly addictive! The four-speed gearbox with full synchromesh operates well and this Mini Van certainly drives as good as it looks!
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Smart 4½ x10 inch Minilite diamond-cut alloy wheels with gunmetal centres are as new and shod in matching Falken 165/70 R10 which are virtually unused. Retaining the 10-inch fitment means no invasive cutting of panels has been undertaken and allows the easy return to original steel wheels should the next owner prefer the more standard look. Genuine Cooper S 10inch front discs are upgrade from standard and are certainly more affective than a fully laden van with the original drums!
HISTORY FILE
This Mini Van was first registered on the 4th September 1969 and luckily managed to survive its hard-working past and avoid the fate that so many commercial vehicles face, destruction! The comprehensive history file covers the restoration that was undertaken in 2008 by Mini specialists, Mini Classics of Worksop. The file also holds many invoices for superior parts from reputable suppliers and there is also photographic documentation of the rebuild on CD rom where the van was stripped back to the shell and sandblasted before a professional repaint. During strip down, any defective parts were replaced or refurbished before careful reassembly to the beautiful van you see today. Owned since 2012 by Mr and Mrs Jeynes, this Mini Van has formed part of their collection of classic cars and motorbikes and is now available to the next fortunate owner who will benefit from a fastidious and expensive programme of restoration.
MOT June 2020, Tax Exempt and HPI Clear.

I bought a mini from Peterborough within the last few weeks, sadly not this one, what an utter beauty she is!
Thank you for sharing!
Utterly butterly beautiful machine.
I had one like this with windows all round. What a fun car that was
That's awesome I'd love one of those 🏁🏁
Very nice looking Mini. Nicely restored. :)
Wow! I would love to own one of these!
We can understand why, they are great fun!
Very nice. How much did it go for? I'm in process of restoring a 1981 van to top spec, 1380cc + uprated suspension, keeping the original look, would like to know how much to insure it for.
Try getting involved with the mini clubs they will be able to help!
@@KGFClassicCars Thanks for the thought, but they seem to be full of numpties & Mini bodgers, just interested in razzing around between pubs & bullshitting!
Great little van I remember losing my virginity in the one I had 😍
Happy days 👍
Thank you for sharing!?
It's all good, our mate from KGF found it in the back when he was valleting 😉😉
Cooper 1019 I bet you were all alone when you “lost your virginity” in that Mini. 😉
Utterly beautiful. Pricey though.
PLEASE STOP WITH THE SLOW WALKING AND SHOW US THE BLOODY ENGINE. You did the same with the VW R32 it’s soo annoying when you read the description then watch the video only to be let down by NOT SHOWING THE JEWEL (engine/bay) PLEASE think of us car guys/ladies who really want to SEE/HEAR everything about the vehicles you have for sale SCOOBS UK (Wales).
Thank you for the feedback.
scoobs idoo Relax scoobs, don’t be so lazy and use your search engine. They have detailed photos of all their cars on their website.
Here’s the minis www.flickr.com/photos/kgfclassiccars/albums/72157709185210241/
Dear KGF Classic cars, I would like you to know and understand where i was coming from as I most definitely was not being arsie in my last comment however it may have come across as such. You see us car enthusiasts like yourselves like/love all types of vehicles from motorcycles to lorries to rally cars to the more Classic car collection, I myself have a particular fondness of the Classic (proper) Mini. But since I subbed a while back I’ve looked at even what some might call a mundane car BUT to me and probably most of your viewers these are both Classic/Rare and beautiful vehicles your sharing with us this Mini van for instance is an exceptional restoration BUT SHOULD be SHOWN in all her GLORY however long the videos take, I particularly liked the VW GOLF R32 but again the video felt rushed and we/i didn’t get to see the jewel (ENGINE) so it’s upto you their your videos and your time but I’m sure more people who have subbed would like to see/hear more of the cars and less on the red socks best wishes SCOOBS UK (Wales).
Why bother commenting if you are so negative
You are as arseholey as they come
You could fit that in the back of these new Mini's.
You probably could!
Looks kinda riced, I mean, look at the front grill
Thank you for your comment!
Wrong instruments definitely wrong steering wheel and wheeks if your going to spend 1000s on a restore why not make it original rubbish van
A persons personal preference!
@@KGFClassicCars true but there are 100s of pimped up minis out there originality looks much better but that's my opinion only
