Wow, nice find! I never knew mini's were modified to carry wheel chairs. I'll have to send the link to my dad, ever since he retired from "real" work, he now spends a day or 2 a week building and repairing wheel chairs for kids and adults. |

There's one floating around Perth. It was for sale a few years ago, then I saw it at a car show a while later. Not sure who owns it now, I thought it was a one off. I didn't realise there was more than one. Cheers, Keels. |

The B.M.C. Experience magazine (Issue 8 January to March 2014 page 66-70) ran a five page article about Mobility Mini's. First produce in Reading, UK (1963) they were named the Chairman, by 1981 150 Chairman's were on the road. Richard Kearns from Adelaide produced a dozen or so here in Australia between 1978 to 1979. Anyway if you wanna know more read the article it's interesting
