1972 Mini Outspan Orange

Outspan commissioned 6 of these advertising vehicles between 1972 and 1974 at a total cost of £20,000.
The company used them extensively for advertising campaigns in Britain, France and Germany. The car
was based on components of the versatile Mini, though a specially fabricated chassis was used to provide
a 48 inch wheelbase. Rack and pinion steering provided the Orange with an impressive turning circle of
under 17 feet. At more than 30 mph, however, there was a tendency for these cars to roll!

Engine: 998cc, in-line 4, overhead inlet, side exhaust, 52 bhp
Top speed: 30 mph
Cost new: £3333?
Manufacturer: Brian Waire Enterprises Ltd., Lower Barn, Bodiam
