Bit pricey for my liking.... Interesting though.

I'll include a couple of photos so this still makes sense in a few weeks when the ebay page has gone. They're asking £850

Gives me ideas about an EV conversion with a range extending trailer full of batteries!

I'm afraid that that is laughably costly. I've seen these go for a couple of hundred quid. Any decent one has had the axle removed and replaced with indespension units which can be calibrated for the lack of weight

Not only expensive, and rusty, but depending on when it was made, possibly illegal, as trailers need to satisfy type approval or an IVA these days:

The back end of a MGA had to be worth more than $1000

Looks like a USA plate and there's probably nothing illegal about it over there.
Can you imagine seeing this on the road over here, where there are rules about unprotected wheels risking pedestrians....
Not a particularly unusual sight over there.

How’d you even get in that? Rope ladder when you open the door?

Ah, hadn't spotted that, thanks. Yes, perfectly legal over there, most likely.

What's the point (now) of a Minor? I guess he's just like a lot of Minor owners, wanting his car to express his individuality

it can be with some of them....
But there is also the option to both lower/raise the Truck as required (if you design it that way), some kits these days will do it from your mobile phone....
, or have Power Steps drop down. The choices are numerous out there.
Some of the top end Lifting Kits can be $20,000, or probably even more these days......
