looks like a nice van!

I spy an ID plate, so it *shouldn't* be a K van, as it wouldn't have one.... bung up a photo of the plate

Thanks paul, looking forward to getting stuck into it, the bonnet that I got with it has the three hole in the style of the mini K badge and it has the ribbed style roof if that helps, if there's any other info that might help identify it just tell me and i'll have a look and tell you guys

By that engine number on the plate, it was built with a 1098 in it. Could be a `pre-K K' so to speak. :)

Is is a Morris Mini 1100 Van, the marketing people called them the Mini K van.

It has the commercial ID plate because all commercial vehicles had to have a plate with the GVW. (Mokes and Vans never lost their plates in 69.)
