"Towtruck" mini's

Postby Racing Green » December 13th, 2008, 1:40 pm

There's some pictures of mini's around the world used for either promotional reasons or just for fun, for mini-transport. Only mini's (pick-up, saloon or estate) with a towbar or winch-system in the back in this thread please. Let's see what we can find or what's allready in our archives shall we ?


There's a similar thread for 4x4 monstertruck pick-ups, ,trailer-pulling pick-ups and 6-wheelers or extended pick-ups.

Thanks for the input guys.

I've actually contacted that African company a few years back and they had sent me these pics, all I remember is it's got a Toyota engine.

[edit: it seems this mini was mentioned before: viewtopic.php?p=3004#p3004]

I've spotted this tow truck yesterday on the street, not a mini but I couldn't resist posting it.

Nice "Cars" theme'd tow truck, they seem to have at least 4 pick-ups in a row on that event, one of them is the 5th wheel trailer pup.

Last green picture added.

The red saloon seems to be a fibreglass shell, I saw another picture of it hanging vertical outside a mni specialist location, with the tow truck parked in front.

Here's another one:
