This probably belongs on Wagon Wednesday, but it’s kind of a minivan, and a minivan is kind of a truck, so it works, right?
This Mini is a Clubman, built by Leyland Australia. The Mini was sold under different makes and licenses throughout the years, and in myriad configurations. You could have a Mk I This one is an estate, and doesn’t it look a treat on that putrid green and pink checkered floor?
From the ad:

Ultra rare Australian Mini Estate Wagon/Van with 4spd manual transmission. Features 1000cc engine with optional tachometer, wheel arch flares, barn door style rear doors and 10″ wheels. This is an extremely rare car that runs like a top and is a blast to drive. Make Offer

I remember the first time I drove a Mini. It was 2002, and I was in Stirling, Scotland for the summer between my sophomore and junior years in college. On a back road in the Scottish countryside, our host pulled off the road and let me take the wheel. I don’t remember if it was a Mk I or II, but I remember the ride, and I remember telling my friends how it felt like a 4-speed go-kart. It was an absolute blast. It’s a shame we didn’t get any photos that day. I have no idea how this Mini van rides, but I bet it’s slow-car-fast good times.
So, it’s small, it’s slow, it’s yellow, but it’s not a Beetle. I’m sold, but what about you? Is this another rare but not desirable car, or is this little Oz a steal at $9,500?
