Morris Mini Minor Van (J Sainsbury) in Brown (1:43 scale by Vanguards VA01425)
This diecast model Morris Mini Minor Van (J Sainsbury) is Brown and features working wheels.
The Mini van was launched five months after the saloon, in January 1960, and remained on sale until 1983. The saloon’s wheelbase was extended by 4 inches and the rear overhang by a further 2.5 inches, creating a load platform 55 inches long, quite impressive in a vehicle which was still only 129.55 inches in length.
Vehicles travel down their production line with their doors open, so Mini vans were produced with twin side-hinged rear doors allowing them to be closer together than would have been possible if they had been fitted with a tailgate.
Features include jewelled headlights and detailed cab interior.
1:43 scale (approx. 8cm / 3.1in long) - made by Vanguards.
Limited edition of 1200 pieces worldwide complete with numbered certificate.
