The Mini is used every day for work, travelling 800 to 1000 miles per week up and down the U.K carrying equipment inside and ladders on the roof rack for Telecommunications business telephone systems and data installations.

It also is used for social and pleasure when not at work.

Spending many hours on the road the Mini needed to be comfortable and fun, some may consider it to be impracticable for this purpose, however it is proving otherwise.
Not as fast as the Mini Cooper S but the Mini Works Van 1.4 Td still performs well with the modifications to the engine

The Mini’s had many an unusual item on the roof rack, from ladders to loft lagging and sofas, check out the gallery.
