Closed van and open flat-bed versions of the Minor were built from 1953 until the end of production. They were designed for commercial use with small businesses and differed from the monocoque construction of the saloon and Traveller variants by having a separate chassis. They also differed in details such as telescopic rear dampers, stiffer rear leaf springs and lower-ratio differentials to cope with heavier loads. The commercials versions were initially marketed as the Morris Quarter Ton Van and Pick-up becoming 6cwt following the introduction of the 1098cc engine in 1962.
XLC has been owned by our deceased vendor for many years and was used in the Movie Dusty and Me (2016), it is also believed to have appeared in the television series Heartbeat.
It was driven into the barn 3 years ago and left. It comes with a replacement pair of rear doors, a front bumper, and the original bonnet which flew open when being driven. It should be noted that the engine bay ID plate is an unstamped replacement.
