Can this be considered classic? Not sure, it's a 1982 model, one of the very first jelly moulds so not common now. I went to the 82 Motor Show at the NEC where this (and the new Austin Metro) debuted. This one is in the worst colour ever but is so well looked after. The gent who owns it bought it new in 82.

First ones had, iirc, wing mirrors attached at the top edge.

...unless I misremember?

Spotted whilst out for a ride earlier this afternoon
I pass that way a lot, & have never seen it before

When l was a kid (8, or 9, year old) my father had the use of the Bedford van derivative

Amazed it’s not a pile of brown dust. I remember BITD the detractors saying that those bodies were made by standing the paint up and spraying metal on the inside

I remember one of my Dad's colleagues / friends had one and got a few rides in it. It would have been 1968 give or take.
