So . . . we have a suspiciously ordinary looking Mini pickup, but, being Autopuzzles there will be more to it than that, much like the ADO16 in NEH 5539. It is an illustration of the kind Austin used to put in Motor and Autocar ads, say 1961 Austin Se7en Pickup. Left-hand drive - I know they were sold in Denmark under a different name, but it isn't one of those as it doesn't have the indicator light on the front wing. The picture may have been flipped in times past, but I am assuming not. Perhaps significantly, it doesn't appear to have the usual crease down the middle of the bonnet . . . but I'm not going to get this one either.             
The more I consider the nature of speed, the more mysterious I find it.

Don't talk yourself out of the answer too much!
1961 is correct...

Is it a BMC Mini Pick-Up?

Yes, but that's not quite the answer I'm looking for..
As Lavrakas said, as this is AutoPuzzles there's a bit more to it than that!
