Produced for the GPO, the Eight/Minor Hybrid van, had the
"look and feel" of the Minor vans to which its postal
workers, telephone engineers and the public were accustomed. Whilst
having the cosmetic appearance of a Minor van, this hybrid
vehicle used the chassis and running gear of the Eight and
Eight Series 1 models. Production continued until the
introduction of the Eight Series Z van, which the GPO also
purchased in large numbers for postal & telephone service
use. Although most of the vehicle was Eight based, the van
with its Minor radiator was known by the GPO
as the Minor 35 cu ft.
