Hey I have just be reading through a few of the old posts on here and came across pictures of Mini campervans. Just wondering if anyone has any information on them or anymore pictures?

Here are the pictures I found in an old post about interesting mini's (taken from here):






Thanks,
Dan

The Wildgoose is possibly the rarest (and most loved!) mini that is still about, i believe there's about 4 left? maybe less

I sasw it too, but I'm sure it was a wildgoose caravan and not the Mini version
I did see a trailer (caravan) on ebay around the same time
Love to do a replica some day.

found a bit more info for you!

A veritable gaggle of Wildgeese flocked to the 1999 International Mini Meeting at Gaydon. This view shows three of the six examples which included a towed caravan version. The conversion involved cutting the rear subframe in two and widening it by 8" (20 cm). The top is raised and lowered by a winch and a system of cables with a cycle wheel revolving horizontally under the body.

another pic and info here!

hopefully this will work! A translated French page with loads of info

Those links have provided quite a bit of information, thanks
So a question to all those who have owned or do own a van, is it long enough to sleep in as standard? I'm about 5 foot 10

Just found an old ebay add for one but the pictures aren't coming up. Only 50 were ever made and it says 3 are located in north america.
