Also around is:

June 1960: http://www.carandcla....uk/car/C366382

Plus, there is a May/June 1960 Mini that is Red, has Renault 5 front lights, a wine cooler etc. Can't find the link, but I seem to recall the reg was YUK.

Blue Morris Minivan dated 5th or 6th of December 1960 was for sale in August 2011.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this. It's going to be great!

The oldest surviving was in Belgium. Was a imported from the uk in the 90's and restored to original spec about 8 years ago. Last thing I heard about it a collectioner bought it and fitted a V-maxscart conversion but after that it went of the radar.

 

Do you have any more details about this one at all? Any old links or anything would be a massive help.

ChrisCityE has a '60 minivan.

 

I have a '62

There was a 1960 van for sale a couple of months back. Only issue was it was in New Zealand. Was a genuine one too.

 

Don't suppose you still remember where you saw this?

[Black.Ghost]

At the end of the ad for that can it says there is a 63 Mini Saloon with low mileage for £47k!! I know something is worth what people are prepared to pay, but that is ridiculous! There is no way I would pay nearly 50k for it!

It will be interesting to see how much this can does go for.

Good luck finishing this build off. There surely can't be many 1960 vans still around.

Don't have much details of it. I know it had a bad accident whit a truck and after that it was restored. Sadly it has a later ribbed roof now.

It was mentioned on the website of Vmaxxscart a couple of years ago, that's how I found out it had the kit.

I should have a look at the attic, somewhere I have a copy of the V5 in a box.

It was for sale at a paint shop in Wellington New Zealand by a local mini enthusiast. I heard that it sold and I think went to Auckland.

I'd be interested in more details if you still have them. I've also asked Stu at Vmax Scart

[Gibneys]

Stu says he doesn't think he ever had a van on his website. You sure it was VMAX Scart?

I think so. Was a few years ago and can't rememer if it's the website or somewere else.

 

Can't find the copy of the V5 at the moment. GF went trough the boxes on the attic searching for something and now I don't find my own stuff
