A PH attempt at a Mini van
Mini could well be making a foray into commercial vehicles at the Geneva show in March, if reports that it is to unveil a 'Cargo' panel van prove true.
German car mag Auto Motor und Sport reckons that Mini is planning to reveal a Clubman-based two-seat panel van, likely to be called the mini Cargo.
The rearmost side windows are to be replaced with sheet metal on the 3.96-metre van, though it's unclear exactly what Mini plans to do with the half-sized side door or the rear pair of doors. The one thing we do know is that it's unlikely to look anything like our painstakingly crafted artist's impression...
So: is a Mini Cargo finally twanging the Mini brand beyond breaking point? Or is it merely a way to enable the Clubman to finally make sense?
