Looks like he eliminated the infamous blind spot with the tractor trailer mirrors he installed

Spitz
take whatever price you like,add 25% and sell it
25% seems to be the tariff ad on price

Al..... you are NOT helping me come up with an asking price

"WET COOPER", Partsguy1 (Terry Snell of Penticton BC ) - Could you send the money for the unpaid parts and court fees.

My first mini was a 1969 all steel van, bonus with the 1071S cooper engine and disc brakes, owned it for 8 years, sold it in Michigan (where it now resides in an outfitters store with a kayak on the roof etc)
after l sold that one l went on a 25. Year binge and bought and sold 450 Classic minis
But l could never recommend an all steel van to anyone, hot, no air and terrible blind spots especially on a RHD model,sliding windows and the little air vent in the roof didn’t help

If you get one, I'd suggest a light color like white or at least a white roof. Dark colors and you can bake bread in them. Way too damn hot for my liking! I happen to know where a white one is for sale, but it ain't cheap. But considering it has zero rust and factory (original) paint, it's a good price if you ask me.

I took to my Aussie Window Van straight away...ride more comfortable than the shorter wheelbase sedan (will confirm after the road/rally cones get used).
With the rear side window, a great greenhouse for visibility and a very useful load bay (bigger than the Austin Van it replaced in OZ).
Aussie wind-up windows & quarter windows are terrific together.
Only one other seat so one can be selective with ride requests, lots of room for camping gear, subframes...why not a Mini Van??

Vans like pickups are astronomical in price now.

Is there any interest in Mini Vans or am I biased? Just a Advertising Vehicle to put out in front of your shop or store?
