That looks somewhat fishy, it looks like it has had flat panels placed over the upper sides, where the rear "fake window" would be.. and is that a tank from an internal tank car? Or maybe from a saloon? I am sure the fuel filler should be on the other side in a recess.

I will go look at a real panel van and check out the differences. I will get back to everyone.

Hmm when you zoom in, it almost looks like the side panels were crudely photoshopped, the window areas are all single colored where there is pixilation up to and surrounding those areas.. fishy.. that tank neck looks to be in the right place for an internal tank traveler fuel tank, but the roof is ribbed. Hmm very odd, if it's actually an internal traveler tank.. that is an odd rare thing to put in it when the van tanks are inexpensive

An odd long wheel base mini indeed.

I thought the description of the car was weirdly brief compared to other mini enthusiasts who are selling a mini. I also thought the wheelbase looked long, but as to the rest I'm not familiar enough to spot oddities. I do like the "service vehicle" looks and the Bristol gray-like color though.

This is what a original side panel for a van should look like......

The 0 feedback score also gives me the heebie-jeebies. I wouldn't bite.
