Looking for an early mini van to use as a support vehicle to service a historic rally cooper S....
Ideally an early mark one van, good nick with an mot and no major problems.
Not interested in a basket case, not enough hours in the day!!!
Mid - south wales ideally but can travel.
Cheers.

Ah yes, the detail missed again....
I suppose that registration mark is important!
I do know of one over here, but the distance is a little far, combined with the fact it is wedged under a tree in a friend's garden makes it a non goer...
I think the paint is holding it all together.

Many thanks for askalbert, this one has now appeared on ebay, 63 is about the latest I want so may be a good one to have a look at and not too far for me to travel.... however the £7k price tag is a bit out of my league, it will be interesting to see what happens on ebay....

See what happens on eBay. It may even be listed several times, although that is not guaranteed.
I am amazed at the price of these, I suppose there are few left, although there may well be some old codger with a cherished one in the hayshed (and not full of rust and chickens)...

Looking at that oil cooler, I wonder what it had under the bonnet. Maybe only an 850 but then again.......
From the auction description I'd guess the seller did not know much about the car.

Typical, just got back from a weekend away and totally missed this one, what a shame. And the grey one went for £5.1k, a bit out of my league.
I'll keep looking, thanks for the help in spotting these.
