These photographs were made some time ago by Sarah Cecil, who wondered what this unusual Mini conversion was meant for. From what I understand this Mini Pick Up was made for use on British airports, possibly to move aeroplanes around. British Airways supposedly had five of them made, but I have never seen any other pictures of these vehicles. The registration data point out it was rather heavy at 945 kilos. Who knows more?

And what are these large side compartments for? Storage?
