• FAME Products has introduced a smaller version of its Minimax box van, the Minimax Junior. Based on the Citroen C25 1400, the 3.5-tonner has a load volume of 20m3 and a payload of around 1,500kg. In basic form it costs £18,650 (ex-VAT),
The Junior uses single rear wheels (the Minimax itself is a six-wheeler) but still manages a floor height of just 350mm. The load-bearing geodetic construction of the body allows FAME to use the front end of a C25 van rather than a chassis-cab, and to move the bulkhead back by 150mm to allow more legroom—a shortcoming of the "old" Sevel vans.
Among the 22 Minimax Juniors ordered so far is a mobile office for a Dutch firm.
The C25's replacement, the Citroen Relay, will form the basis of a new vehicle; another model, destined for the Continent, will be based upon Mercedes-Benz's MB100 forward-control van.
