Mini Wildgoose

The Mini Wildgoose was a motorhome based on a Mini. It was particularly designed for the "retired couple" and was believed to reach speeds of 112 kph but a cruising speed of 80 kph was probably more realistic.

The Mini Wildgoose was produced in limited numbers by a company in Sussex in the South of England during the 1960s. For the vehicle a BMC Mini van was needed and then a conversion kit which cost either £445, £480 or £601. It was, at least in theory, also possible to buy the complete vehicle with conversion completed.

Standard equipment
With the Mini Wildgoose conversion, four seats were provided in a dinette and a double bed was also accommodated. Equipment included was a table, curtains, cupboards and water carriers.

Optional extras
Supplementary equipment was also available, which can be compared to today's camper experiences, such as;
 * Combined luggage rack and spare wheel container
 * Extended wing mirrors
 * Hammock type bunk
 * Undersealing of cab.
