1971 Morris minor van SOLD

For sale is my 1971 Morris/ Austin 6cwt van.
Below is a brief summary of its history and rebuild.
Anyone genuinely interested should mail or call me as it would take an age to log everything on this advert.
The van has been the subject of a 7year on/ off rebuild on what was already a really nice van when I purchased it ( which included a recent chassis replacement)

Having bought it as a keeper and not a seller, it then went through a no expense spared rebuild. I have bills for over £3k in parts from esm alone.
Many improvements and upgrades have been incorporated in the build.

The reason I chose this particular van over others for sale at the time was the rare and much sought after GRP van body. Though it does still retain steel floors, inner arches, front and rear inner end panels and rear doors.
The obvious advantage is, the awful and inevitable gutter and panel rot is eliminated and peace of mind for the future.
Plus, the badly repaired filler filled bodge up so called specialists looking for a quick profit were out of the equation.
All of the other panels on the vehicle, doors, wings, cab, front panel etc are genuine or new steel replacement items.
The interior has been kept largely standard and is in really nice condition save for the odd mark and still retains that moggie aroma.
The van was also fitted with the now quite hard to find 1275 A+ engine and ancillaries. The engine has now been completely rebuilt (ask)
It also has a very very sought after Toyota 21 spline T50 5speed gearbox fitted.

Also has modified rear leaf springs for car type comfort and handling.(New original commercial springs included in sale)
Telescopic shocks all round.

Totally rebuilt slightly higher ratio rear axle with every bearing, seal etc replaced plus pre-load reset.

Disc brake conversion - with servo.

Complete poly bush conversion.

New prop shaft..

Remote brake fluid reservoir.

All spring shackles, fittings etc all replaced.

Stainless exhaust.

All front suspension rebuilt Inc New bearings, seals, hoses etc.

Self canceling indicators/ headlight flash conversion.

Oil and water temp clocks fitted.

New headlining, carpets, modern period radio fitted etc etc etc
The list goes on.

Apart from road wheels and steering wheel the van looks totally standard and if the new owner decided to return these items to standard, they can be bought and bolted straight on .(personal choice)
I prefer the slightly edgier look the van has and once again personal choice .
Hopefully the photos reflect the time money and effort that has been afforded on this van.
Apart from the fantastic looks of this van, it will actually keep pace with modern traffic and of course..... it stops better than a standard moggie.
I have many photos from the mechanical rebuild through to the paint etc etc.
Please feel free to contact me for full details etc but please bare in mind it is still a fifty year old designed vehicle. And classic car ownership needs ongoing maintenance, attention and at times patients.
Though I built the van for use and not for show, the van looks exactly as the photos and would grace any show.
The van can be viewed without obligation and I have the V5 in my name, plus it is insured with all noted modifications Fully comprehensive for £100.
This is just a small description as stated.

Just to answer a commonly asked question, yes the van cab is the same colour underneath ie the floor, as are the van underbody and inside the wings as per the factory and the chassis is factory black.
