1960s Mini Pickup

A rare circa 1960s BMC Mini ¼-Ton LHD Pickup Truck sits abandoned and neglected on the Ionian island of Kefalonia, Greece. I am not certain which exact year this example was produced, although the original Mini Pickup was built from 1961-1983, with a total of 58,179 reportedly produced. It seems that external door hinges (which were found on all Minis built from 1959-‘68), were still present on the pickup variant throughout its lifetime. This Mini Pickup will have no doubt worked a long and very hard life over here, until presumably finally being parked when something major went very wrong. Regardless, someone out there would still pay money for this, even if only as an original parts donor source.

 

The red car in the background is a circa 1983-’86 Ford Escort MKIII. Behind that is a yellow JCB digger/excavator.
