Mini Van?

Not a Mini van - shape is wrong. Looks modernised - rear lights, wheels - so not very clear what it is. If UK, I wonder if a Standard 6cwt Van, which might creep in for dates before Cuba became closed to imports??

The Havana bus company bought Leylands in the 1960s (a preference established by a private company in the 1950s), so perhaps smaller British vehicles were also imported.

As it just so happens, this car is on a 2026 calendar of British cars in Cuba :)

^ Useful link - confirms Standard 4 door estate. Only problem is they had single side-opening door, so this has been bodged, possibly with the twin doors from a 6cwt van.
