Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This rare Austin van, one of fewer than 300 taxed or SORN, presents a potentially rewarding restoration project. While it starts and runs with good oil pressure, it has been standing and requires a thorough check, with advisories noted from a 2015 MOT.
Condition
4
The van has been standing for a period and requires a full check over, suggesting some mechanical reconditioning is needed. It has advisories from its last MOT in 2015, indicating potential issues with swivel joint wear and wheel bearing play. Cosmetically, it's described as retaining the correct van wheels but with Morris hubcaps, implying originality with a minor modification. The limited number of these vans left adds to its appeal as a restoration project.

Description
This charming van has covered less than 700 miles since last MOTd in 2015, when it had just two advisories (top swivel joint wear, front wheel bearing play).
It starts and runs well with good oil pressure.
It drives quite well, and the brakes do work but after a period standing should have a full check over.
Unusually it retains the correct van wheels, but does sport Morris hubcaps! According to ‘how many left’ there are fewer than 300 of these rare Austin vans either taxed or on sorn, so this should be an interesting and potentially rewarding restoration project.
