Introduced in January 1961, the Mini Pick-Up was based around the same stretched platform as its Panel Van sibling. Similarly exempt from sales tax as a commercial vehicle, it sported a pressed steel grille, sliding windows and external door hinges throughout its twenty-one year production life. Initially powered by an 848cc four-cylinder, it could be specified with the more powerful 998cc engine from 1967 onwards (both A-series units being mated to the same four-speed manual transmission). Updated in late 1978 as the 'Mini 95' - its gross weight was 0.94 tons - the Pick-Up was dropped from the range just four years later. Benefiting from a four-inch longer wheelbase, taller rear suspension turrets and under floor fuel tanks, the Pick-Up / Panel Van derivatives were arguably even more fun to drive than their saloon equivalents.
Finished in green / grey with black vinyl upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "average" (chassis), "poor" (interior trim, paintwork, bodywork, wheels / tyres) or "unknown" (engine, gearbox, electrical equipment) condition. Partially disassembled at some stage it is now in need of extensive restoration. Believed but not warranted to have covered 37,133 miles from new, it is offered for sale without documentation.
