Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1978 Leyland Mini Van 1000, offered from the Inverness Collection, was purchased from a butcher's shop and sympathetically restored in Bottle Green. Despite the extensive restoration, which includes over £17,000 spent, the car needs attention due to a brake fluid leak during transportation.
Condition
7
The car has been sympathetically restored with attention to the underside, panels, and mechanicals. There are invoices for over £11,000 in parts and a further £6,350 spent on bodywork preparation and paint. However, the car leaked brake fluid in transportation and will require attention before returning to the roads.
