If never used on the road, possibly, but not this.

Same goes for the ex-BT van

It's expensive, but a great looking vehicle.
Has this been on the market previously, maybe from Manchester?

Tubbyman's old van!

GRP body, glovebox lids, BL Vin plate...few other things wrong....aimed at the MMTS market I wager!

Rather have a battered original.

You rarely get the resto costs back. If it sells would that be a record?

Last heard of converting Tony's old "J" reg ex-PO engineers' van to Dave's TFM 150K spec.

Bonkers!!

I sold this van three years ago to a friend due to ill health and storage issues. He sold it on to this person who has sold it now. some may say I'm going to say it's a lovely van which it is. But the price is crazy in my eyes but looks like he sold it. I no various Morris minor restoration company's want £20,000 plus to restore one and would they restore it as good as this van was and is. That's debatable. But yes price is madness but someone must of loved it enuff to pay it. Paul.

Why do these people keep selling it on? Sounds like they don't know what they want!

To be fair the chap I sold it to three years ago did have it for three years but never used it. He is now very poorly and sold all his cars now. The guy who he sold it to put it on eBay for whatever the reason is I don't no and as they say the rest is history. Hope it's gone to a good home and stays within the club.
