These were specified by the Post Office as a result of the the number of minor accidents these vans had in use. http://www.morrisminoroc.co.uk/articles/minormatters/lcv50.html The Morris Minor van and pickup (also solmetimes reffered to as LCV as light commercial vehicle), I believe is more correctly designated the "Morris O-type Quarter ton" van and pickup. A reference to this and an advert is in the above link.
