Mini brings a five-door van concept that it calls the Clubvan to the Geneva Motor Show 2012. It combines the body of the Mini Clubman but blocks out the rear windows and ditches the rear seats. It also heavily tinted the rear windows for security.

Inside not only has MINI removed the rear seats, it has also installed six loops in the rear to secure loads. It also added a mesh partition to separate the load area from the passenger area and an aluminum floor. It also added a 12-volt plug-in in the rear for power supply.

The Clubvan Concept has a British Racing Green body that covers everything but the roof, which is black.

The Clubvan is not nearly as big as a Ford Transit Connect or similar vehicle, but it would work for a business making small deliveries. It seems like the aluminum floor would be great for durability, but things would slide around on it. Maybe it would be better with a rubberized floor.
