From the site  Outspan commissioned six of these advertising vehicles between 1972 and 1974. They used them extensively for advertising campaigns in this country, France and Germany. One example is still in use in South Africa. The basis of the car is the versatile Mini, though a specially fabricated chassis is used. At over 30mph, there was a tendency for these vehicles to roll!
