Thanks for photos. Thought I was following the guide but didn't even manage to select one picture. Perhaps will print the guide off and try another time.

Good spot, deffo for the o/s one. Likely to have been added if the wings have been replaced. It has the correct lower valence and doors for the year.

I think the word Rare in the advert is adding Value Doesn't even have a battery for £2K (they only cost 45 quid) let alone a MOT !!

I think I know who used to have this van... I "think" it was a re-shell.

Does that mean a ringer then taking a used van and changing its identity to make it tax free !!

There was that bloke in Yorkshire had a load of van, pickup and coupe shells years ago. Maybe it was one of them....

As pictured on ebay when i bought it around 2006

I was told it had a 2.0 Ital rear axle and it certainly felt like it driving it home from Banbury - very quiet.

Then Franks van came up for sale and this and my other teal blue van went onto pastures new

Ah a bit of history, what's the story about the Ital inner front wings, is it a reshell?

I like the rear seat conversion what's the source, was it specially made or from another car?
