This stunning, deep green Mini Van was purchased directly from a local butcher’s shop who had used it as a static display being off the road for many years Fitted with the trusty 998cc A-Series engine mated to a 4-speed gearbox, this charming van benefits from a wonderful restoration finished in 2022 Originally finished in Orange, the van has become a deep, rich green presenting superbly following fresh paintwork, smart detailing and a sharp, period correct appearance throughout The interior has been sympathetically restored and remains faithful to its utilitarian commercial roots. The underside, panels and mechanicals have all been attended to, being repaired where possible and replaced where required, with invoices supporting the quality and extent of the work carried out The work undertaken has been meticulous. Despite having no history prior to 2020, there are bills on file for over £11,000 in parts alone, with a further £6,350 spent on bodywork preparation and paint meaning the restoration costs exceed £17,000 A charming and increasingly rare example of the once-ubiquitous Mini Van, now fast becoming a collector’s item. Perfect for classic car shows, business advertising, or simply as a quirky and fun piece of charming British motoring
