What a lovely van!
YES!
That's a very nice van!
I see you need a cab courtesy light cover. They are readily available as they are the same as for original minis. Like this one.............. http://minispares.com/product/Classic/Electrics/Lamps/17H9971.aspx?0909&ReturnUrl=/shop/classic/Electrics/Lamps.aspx|Back to shop ..............but available from other suppliers.
[edit] I see Mr P got there before me! [/edit]

very glad for the leads on parts!
I found someone local who's web page says they buy/ restore classic British cars, especially original Mini's. (5 minutes from home to boot!)
Telephoned the owner who said YES- I HAVE A DOME LIGHT COVER!! and we arranged to meet at his shop.
Sadly, he didn't show up at the scheduled time, and hasn't returned my calls since . His small, overgrown yard has 4 Mini skeletons and 2 with tires.

Very nice van. The interior may have been modified, but it has been done very nicely. Does the gear knob touch the steering wheel?

no issues with gear knob clearance.
The driver is vertically challenged, and when I first drove her home, I literally had to throw into 3rd gear; the seats had been painted into position and I could barely reach.
This has since been remedied with a rubber mallet.
