When you run into something this unique and affordableand#44; your imagination starts to go into overdrive. This 1966 Morris Mini Panel Van has a cool look on the outsideand#44; custom comfort on the insideand#44; and original motor under the hood. So it seems like the perfect vehicle to do everything from be the support vehicle for you British exotic to just being a fun presentation all on its own. If youre Britishand#44; then this is a pure nostalgia machine (and if youre not this is just a very cool presentation.) The Morris Royal Mail van is as engrained in the UK culture just as deeply as the Jeep is in ours. But as you get closer to this panel vanand#44; you can instantly tell its not some ex-service vehicle. The red has a high gloss shine thats a direct result of a large investment in restoration. The bumpers have added lusterand#44; the windows have a dark tintand#44; and the rear hatch doors line up nicely. So while this might say Royal Mail on the side (the decal is removableand#44;) it was also given the royal treatment to look this good. While these panel vans were built to be utilitarianand#44; this one adds flair on top of its function. The cargo area has been laid out with the kind of flooring that attracts attention all on its ownand#44; but its also durable enough to carry everything from car parts to promotional goods. The dual gray cloth bucket seats make the most of the passenger space with their high-backed comfortand#44; and the red piping gives it a sporty appearance as it matches the dash and door color. Its a similar story with the piping on the black carpets. The controls are laid out nicely for driving with a grippy three-spoke steering wheeland#44; gearshift thats always in easy reachand#44; and a cool Smiths gauge package with large central speedo. Under the hood is a 998cc motor that is original to the car (per the consignor.) There are only about 7K miles on this British classic since restorationand#44; and so all the beltsand#44; wiresand#44; and hoses still look quite fresh. This A-Series motor is a well-known and widely used powerplant that found a home in plenty of British vehicles. Its part of the backbone of English motoringand#44; which makes it quite hardy and easy parts availability. When matched with the four-speed manual transmissionand#44; the performance can be quite nippy. Add in front disc brakes and steering that is so exact it feels telepathicand#44; and youve got in your hands all the reasons why people are passionate about driving – even in a van! Its a rarity to see a Morris Mini Van in the USA. But more than just uniqueand#44; the restoration photobook will show you this is a cut-above classic. So at this priceand#44; you know you have to act quickly to take home the coolest Mini-van around. Call today!!! |
