Registration No: NNE 477H
Chassis No: AAU71305238A
MOT: Exempt
First registered on 12th November 1969, "NNE 477H" has had only 2 owners from new. The current owner purchased the vehicle in 1977 with circa 44,000 miles on the clock, during his possession and mainly throughout the 1980s the pickup was subject to extensive repairs and a re-paint. The vehicle has been dry stored for long periods with no miles covered, our vendor believes the mileage displayed of 52,727 to be genuine but can't warrant it. This lovely Mini Commercial has just been treated to an oil & filter change, new water pump, electric fuel pump, battery, spark plugs, and is reported to run perfectly. The vehicle comes with some old MOT certificates and the V5C.
Introduced in January 1961, the Mini pickup was based around the same stretched platform as its panel van sibling. Similarly exempt from sales tax as a commercial vehicle, it sported a pressed steel grille (some replaced with a grille to aid oil filter access), sliding windows and external door hinges throughout its twenty-one year production life. Initially powered by an 848cc four-cylinder, it could be specified with the more powerful 998cc engine from 1967 onwards (both A-series units being mated to the same four-speed manual transmission). Updated in late 1978 as the 'Mini 95' - its gross weight was 0.94 tons - the panel van was dropped from the range just four years later. Benefiting from a four-inch longer wheelbase, taller rear suspension turrets and under floor fuel tanks, the Pickup / Panel Van derivatives were arguably even more fun to drive than their saloon equivalents. Up until the late ‘70s the rear lights were notable for being Rover P4 units.
