This Mini Classic got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1976 Leyland Mini Van is a right-hand drive example that was acquired by the current owner in 2017. The car is finished in green with a white roof over a black interior and is powered by a 998cc inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 10″ wheels, front disc brakes, chrome bumpers, side-hinged rear doors, and an Autotecnica steering wheel. Service performed in preparation for the sale included refinishing the cylinder head, repairing the carburetor float bowl fitting and instrument cluster, and replacing the battery, head gasket, spark plugs, shifter bushings, and CV axle boots and seals. This Mini Van is now offered at no reserve on dealer consignment with service records and a clean Oregon title.
The van-style body is fitted with rear side windows and was refinished in green and white under previous ownership. Equipment includes chrome bumpers, a bullet-style driver’s mirror, and side-hinged barn doors. Touch-up spots are noted on the front of the car, and rust bubbles are noted on the door strike plates. The hood and right door are said to be in need of adjustment.
10″ wheels with Mini center caps are wrapped in 165/70 Yokohoma A-008 tires. Replacement shocks are fitted, and braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. In July 2021, the CV axle boots and seals were replaced, and the wheel bearings were repacked.
The cabin has been reupholstered and features black vinyl front seats with cloth inserts, body-color sheet metal, and black trim. Additional equipment includes a wood shift knob and switches for climate control.
A wood-rimmed Autotecnica steering wheel steering fronts a repaired Smiths 100-mph speedometer, gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil temperature, and a five-digit odometer showing 900 miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The 998cc inline-four features a single carburetor with an aftermarket K&N air filter. Service since April 2021 consisted of repairing the carburetor float bowl fitting, refinishing the cylinder head, and replacing the head gasket, spark plugs, battery, and shifter bushings.
Power is sent to the front wheels via four-speed manual transmission. Corrosion is noted on the underside, and additional photos are provided in the image gallery.
