I have quite a few of these. Perhaps I should get them dolled up and flog them off instead of keeping them for a rainey day. Looks like the rainy days have started.

yeah new ones cost $143 or around that figure.
im more interested about the "one piece" rear bumper that really early uk models had. it ran the full length of the backend, not two little ones.
they are rare

The one piece bumpers were fitted to utes only, not vans or travellers/countrymans. Utes had the numberplate on the tailgate like a sedan.

Ute bumpers are extremely rare in the UK now too. Notice that most utes in teh UK magazines have the two small van bumpers. :(

I wonder if the elf bumper is the same as the ute one? it would be the same leingth arround to the rear arches.

No, Elf/Hornet bumpers wrap around the sides. Ute ones are just a straight blade.

I reckon a Clubman front bumper could be modded to fit the rear of a van. Stick a couple of rear fogs in the blinker recesses and it would look good.

There was a Clubbie van in Mini Magic magazine set up like that (apart from the rear fogs), looked very neat.

Cluby front bumper would be too wide for the back of the van, maybe cut one down, dress it up & re-chrome would be cool tho :-)

The Innocenti Traveller (Mini T) had a full length bumper though. But these are nearly non-existent.

I had one on the back of my van... was actually too narrow, I had to cut the wrap around bits off it....

I needed something for roadworthy, looked like crap, but did the job

(I didn't take many pictures of it cos it was too ugly, so you'll have to settle for one with one of the kiddies in front of it)
