1961 Morris Mini Van.

The Mini Van was a commercial vehicle rated at ¼-ton load capacity. Built on the longer Traveller chassis but without side windows, it proved popular in 1960s Britain as a cheaper alternative to the car. It was classed as a commercial vehicle and as such carried no sales tax. A set of simple stamped steel slots served in place of a more costly chrome grille.

The Mini Van was renamed as the Mini 95 in 1978, the number representing the gross vehicle weight of 0.95 tons.
