There's an Australian Clubman Mini Van sales brochure here that might help you identify it via the listed features and pictures:

| Post subject: | 1970 Morris Mini Panel Van Questions |
I currently live in Georgia, USA and have a 1970 Morris Mini Panel Van from New Zealand which I am trying to track down where it came from. It appears that the VIN number is only 9 digits long. Is there a way to track down information using the engine serial number? Any help that can be furnished would be greatly appreciated. Brett |

Brett - first step would be to post a picture or two so the exact model can be confirmed. Of most importance is a picture of the ID plate and any other body number stampings. It may have been a locally manufactured car (NZ/Australia) or imported from the UK, or elsewhere. |

It may have been a locally manufactured car (NZ/Australia) or imported from the UK, or elsewhere. There has been discussion of Strokernaut's van on his thread the Mini Mania forum; Morris 1100 (aka Catalina Pk) and others have pretty much established that it is an Australian built van. http://www.minimania.com/msgThread/1163 ... _s_History However, it has an ID plate attached with a strange looking number. As winabbey says, some pics of any body stampings on the rad shroud or bulkhead would help ID it. |

It has a Clubman front on the other forum. |

I didn't realise they got the early style grill. Was that always the case? |

XAV1 could be a prototype (Xperimental) code. This would tie in if it actually is a 1970 car as Clubby vans did not come along until 1971?? The number afterwards 48*** seems pretty high though. |
