Depends what type of transit, I did it once with a normal transit and a mini with the front end chopped off, it still stuck out of the back doors a few inches so just tied them shut with rope. The mini also doesnt quite fit between the tranny rear wheel arches so have to have it on a slight slant (only just by a few mm).

I've halped put one in a Transit Luton van and it went in no trouble. Flip front was off it though.

[Charliezminiz]

i no some people say they had to tie the doors shut but was that in a long wheel base transit?

[CMcB]

Mini will fit in a LWB van with doors shut. might need some form of ramp to get over the wheel arches though.

Will a Mini fit in a Transit ?

I really hope so !
That would just make me happy and set off an hour of fantasies about robbing the tower of London.

AN IMAGE FOR YA - three minis making the jump over Tower bridge as it opens then slipping into three white Tranny vans
who vanish three ways into the South London traffic.

The real question is will the Crown Jewels fit in the boot of three Minis ?

Anyone like to suggest a plan for this caper ?
