The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car & Motorcycle Auction
1975 Morris Mini Van
A very well-presented, 82,000 mile example
Registration - KYR 396P
Chassis No. - XKV1-215920A
M.O.T. - Exempt
Odometer - 79,000
This splendid little load lugger is finished in blue, trimmed in black vinyl and rides on cream-coloured reverse-rim steel wheels shod with Yokohama tyres. The Morris has also benefited from the fitment of an RC40 stainless steel exhaust system. The vendor informs us that the Mini was completely renovated eight years ago, work that included the replacement of the flooring. He now classes the 850cc engine and four-speed manual gearbox as ‘excellent’, and the bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’. Believed to have once belonged to a member of the Cooper family (as in Mini Cooper and Cooper F1 fame), ‘KYR 396P’ is now offered for sale complete with polished wood facia, auxiliary water temperature and oil pressure gauges, heater, chrome door mirrors, locking fuel cap and carpeted load bay, plus a history file containing a large collection of invoices.
In addition to the saloon, BMC built a variety of other versions including: the Traveller, the sporty Cooper and Cooper S models, the Clubman and 1275 GT, the Moke, the pick-up and the popular Mini van. The latter was based on the longer platform of the Traveller and had a load capacity of 0.25 tons. Available from 1960 until 1982, it was classed as a commercial vehicle and therefore avoided sales tax; making it a cheaper alternative to a car, as well a handy goods vehicle – some 521,494 examples were manufactured all told.
In summary:
- A very well-presented nine-keeper, 82,814-mile example
- Understood to have been completely renovated eight years ago
- Equipped with reverse-rim wheels and stainless steel exhaust
