Hi All, Just wondering if mini vans ever came out with a seat in the back? Or if someone has fabricated something up and fitted one? I was thinking of getting a van but with two young kids a two seater would be no good. Thanks! Andrew |

`Aaron' on here got a rear seat for a child fitted to his van. I think Littles in Blacktown may have done it? |

There were conversion kits available that fitted a reasonable seat into a van. Instead of a van you really want a Traveller, Countryman or Clubman Estate, which came with a rear seat and opening side windows. Trouble is, they never built them here, so there are only a handful kicking round. Tim |

My first car was a 68 mini van bought it in 74 I was the 2nd owner the previous owner was Sutherland hospital , it was used as a laundry car , and it had a back seat fitted to it , I used it about half a dozen times. I think they were done by a place at Bankstown airport probably would not be legal now . They come up every now and again on ebay uk . I was going to do this to my second van but finished up buying a 64 countryman the kids loved it hunt around they are out there . |

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll start checking out for the countrymans (great name!), etc. I'll have a chat with one of the local rego places as well about likelihood of registering a modified van. Should probably just buy a 'normal' mini as they are awesome too but for some reason really like the van shape. |

Just a thought. You could buy sedan and convert rear to van. Although I think vans had longer wheel base. So that's my 2c worth..........I'll go back to the shed now. |

Vans have a different floor to that used by the Traveller/Countryman... I'm sure it could be done ..but its not simple. The first step would be to consult a specialist engineer to make sure you can get it registered before chopping any metal... Chers, Ian |

Any certified by RMS seatbelt fitting station in NSW could do it legally. There is Littles in Blacktown, and another place on Powers Rd seven hills. Opposite O'brien. |
