Sorry to be daft, but why not? Looks pretty Mini to me. I have seen one of these and it looks like it could fit inside a cooper.

It is just a small car. Plenty of those. Valid in its own right, but
not here. The only 'Minis' recognised by this newsgroup are those
designed by the genius Alec Issigonis and produced for more than 40
years by BMC and its successor companies.

Of course. Why should we exclude Minis which are badged other than
Austin and Cooper? What about all those which were branded Morris or,
later, just Mini? The vast majority of Minis have never been Coopers.

We have in the past. People who miss-post to that extent seem to be
few and far between these days. You have to be pretty stupid not to
read a newsgroup before posting to it... and even more so if, having
done so, you fail to realise that this newsgroup is about Minis and
not minivans or Hondas.

Snip....................

"Description: For the discussion of English Mini automobiles" - from
the 'About This Group' link

No mention of German Engineering, nor any exclusion of Vans. Pick-ups,
or the Clubman - just plain old English Mini automobiles.

or have I misunderstood?

"Minivan" is North American terminology for the sort of small bus-like
vehicle we Brits would call a "people carrier". As opposed to what I would
think of as a Mini van, ie a Mini estate with no windows. HTH.
