WDIOT? Austin Mini Van

Mini Van (1960–1982)

A commercial panel van rated at ¼-ton load capacity. Built on the longer Traveller chassis but without side windows, it proved popular in 1960s Britain as a cheaper alternative to the car: it was classed as a commercial vehicle and as such carried no sales tax. A set of simple stamped steel slots served in place of a more costly chrome grille. The Mini Van was renamed as the Mini 95 in 1978, the number representing the gross vehicle weight of 0.95 tons. 521,494 were built.^[20] Despite this renaming, the motoring public continued to call it the Mini Van, as a result of which^{[citation needed]} the class of vehicles known as minivans in other countries are referred to in Britain as MPVs.

For quite sometime now, I have been opening blisters and I noticed, I am not posting any of my second main line...the Austin Mini Cooper/Van. I was so engrossed opening side collections that I almost forget the main lines. Hehehehe. ;)

But you see, I was just saving the best for last. ;)

Here are some Austin Mini Vans that I liberated from their blisters. ;)
