Though now a rarity on our roads, a total of 58,179 Mini Pick-ups were manufactured between 1961 and 1982. The design was basic although the factory brochure described a "fully equipped Mini Pick-Up is also available which includes a recirculatory heater." A passenger-side sun visor, seat belts, laminated windscreen, tilt tubes and rear cover were also available at extra cost. In common with the related Van, the model was re-christened the Mini 95 in 1978 - the number referring to the gross weight of 0.95 tons.

This Leyland Cars variant of the Mini Pick-Up was manufactured in 1977. Originally fitted with the 998cc engine, it has been uprated with a 1275cc Cooper engine and four-speed manual transmission. Purchased by the vendor in 2014 as a project, it was subsequently restored before returning to the road in 2015 following an engine and gearbox overhaul and reconditioning completed by Revivals of Royston, Herts. A letter from them dated February 2018 confirms general details of the work carried out and the mechanical specification stating the Mini “ran very well with good smooth performance”. This practical and collectible Pick-Up is supplied with a current V5C.
