    All in all a very clean bus, it might not win a concourse show, but you will be the envy of all the yummy mummies on the school run.
    I have done a few little jobs on it so you don't have to.

    Located in Surrey.
    Call 07970 540757.
    Price: a very reasonable £13,500. ONO.
    Deposit secures, balance on paperwork & number plates done.

  2. Open to sensible offers on this and keen to get a fairly quick sale as another van is on its way.
     
  3. A few pics of the underside. - Only very light surface, a brush off & wax oil will preserve this very solid van.

    Nice original sills.

  11. It's not a bad van.
    I did quite a bit, not just for MOT but other bits I felt would help the sale.

    I think it was £900 trade rate of work I did.

    I have driven it 20 miles with no problem.
    I am just waiting for DVLA now.
    I think there are only 5 people in the import department, so this will be a busy time for them.
    It must all show up soon...
     
  12. Paper work should all be done with new number plates in the next two weeks.

    It seems that all NOVA documents are being held up at the moment...

    Everything has now been sent off to DVLA, so am just waiting on a new V5 log book to come.
