Has been recently MOT'd, so has a full year on it, and is ROAD TAX FREE!
Van was garaged over the winter, and started first time during the spring. It's last road trip before being garaged was to Brussels, motored there and back without missing a beat. I have never really had any problems with the van, other than the normal niggles, it runs smooth, starts easily, and stops slowly...
The van is in pretty good shape, and I would keep running it as is, there are patches of surface bubbles along the bottoms of the doors and around the gutters but nothing really nasty. I actually prefer driving it now compared to when it was perfect, much less stressful now I'm don't have to worry so much about the new paint work.
It would not take much to make it perfect if that is what you are after.
please feel free to message with any questions or to arrange a viewing and to take for a test drive if you have insurance that will cover you.
