Old 1969 AA Austin Minor Van
During the 1960's the AA's motorcycle combinations were phased out in favour of vans, mostly Minivans, although other types were also used, including a fleet of around 100 Minor vans bought between 1968 and 1970. The British Motor Corporation (BMC), owners of Austin and Morris among others, decided in 1967 that the Morris Minor van should also be available as an Austin. For reasons now lost, the AA favoured the Austin version, which apart from the badges, radiator grille and engine colour was identical to the Morris. AA Minors were fitted with the optional alternator instead of a dynamo to cope with the extra electrical demands from the front spotlights, roof sign, flashing light and two-way radio. The rear number plate was roof-mounted to make way for the tow-bar.
