Postman Pat's car exists - and is Mini based

Ha, this is a good one! A real-life Postman Pat car based on good old Mini mechanicals. It was supposedly built for a landlord as an advertising vehicle some 25 years ago but has only been used for a couple of years. The seller says: "Complete with a few engine parts missing but could be got back on road again with some work. Many long hours were spent on this project and it seems a shame to send it to the vehicle graveyard." Good point. See the advertisement here. It's based in Cullompton, Devon, which looks like a real-life Postman Pat village to me, too...

Postman Pat exists… or at least his car does. It was road legal, too…

Cars do not become more boxy than this. Not too much space for parcels though...
