That. Is. Awesome.
I always fancied getting a Leyland Leopard or something and using it as a transporter.

There is a 3.5 litre straight 6 Ford A series crew cab recovery truck in a commercial mag for £1000. Would be a great retro outfit paired with my Mini.
Surely if any of those Mini's had wide wheels they wouldn't fit? TCS?

We once put an Imp in the back of a Luton van. Had to take the rear bumper off, back it in, tie it down and tie the roll door down over the bonnet... but we checked with the hire company and it was inside all the weight/loading regs for that type of vehicle!

I know the classic-mini.co.uk guys car gets pulled into the back of the LDV on a winch, its really cool to see it all going together. I'll try and get some more pics at Donny on Sunday.
Wide wheels don't matter to them as it's a mighty mini and can only run Rover 12x4.5 Minilights
