I'm sure.

I've seen the classic minis in the UK - they are indeed tiny, but
_might_ fit in a full-sized American cargo van.
Not sure, but wouldn't the "van"
("staion wagon" in American) model hold
one rack if you let it hang out the back?
I was able to carry FIVE ?DTC-300s (Diable HiType I stand printer) with a
Honda Civic. ?(I had some rope).
My big score was *two* H960 racks, and the PDP-11/34 and RL02 and RX01
and docs and floppies in a VW Microbus. The racks went in from the
back and the BA-11s and such were on the floor underneath (no middle
seat installed - it's in a cargo configuration). Handled pretty good,
too.
Much later, I fit a VAX-11/750 into a Chevy Astro Minivan - that was
harder because of the stumps of the middle seats hanging up the bottom
of the rack.
