Morris Minor Gown Van Oddity

Here's something you don't see every day, or indeed, in my case, ever at all.  Its a Gown Van based on a Morris Minor LCV.  In this case it appears to be the rare and short lived Austin version as well for extra weird points.



As the name suggests, a gown van was used to deliver fancy ladies dresses back in the day when long gowns were de rigueur for polite society events.



This odd little van has curious proportions and hopefully will be restored by an enthusiast of odd light commercials.  Its certainly started cheap enough on its eBay listing but who knows what the reserve may be?
