We are very pleased to bring to market this wonderful Ford Thames Minibus from 1964 for a couple of reasons; one is its condition and the other is that it has just played quite a big part in an upcoming film that hasn’t been released yet.

That we cannot discuss, but it will be a great film about some guys who were in a band from Liverpool in the 1960s and went on to do great things for music, just imagine that, that is all the help we can give you with the clues… This beautiful minibus is the result of a meticulous five-year restoration; in regular use since and displayed at many shows; fabulous inside and out; find a better one! Powered by a 1.6-litre diesel engine coupled to a column shift manual gearbox.

First registered in March 1964 and only having three owners since according to the HPi and V5.

The second acquired it in December 2009 and then undertook a huge restoration taking just over five years.

You only have to look at this Minibus to know instantly that it was a quality...
