Descrição
OFFERED for sale today by Martin Howey Classics (Established 25 years) is a good, honest 1968 Morris Minor van. Its V5 states just three former keepers, in itself unusual for a small commercial, but the previous owner pointed out that it had been in the same family from new and had always been used pretty much as an advertising vehicle, simply moving bicycles around locally as can be seen by its sign-writing. That is old fashioned too by the way and is painted on.
It's a really genuine old thing with a nice solid load bay and good panels. She looks to be pretty sound too. She is on the key and I have been for a drive this morning. A bright and lively little van with many years in here yet. Perhaps the inner sills could do with replacing at some stage as they look quite aged but the rest looks decent. Price reflects this. No offers.
This description is based on my opinion of the vehicle, the paperwork that comes with the vehicle and anything I have been told about it. The vehicle is 56-years-old and this cannot be taken as a definitive statement for obvious reasons. As with most classic cars, there may be faults and quirks whilst, almost inevitably, some degree of tinkering and care will always be called for. Such are the joys of owning an antique vehicle and they must be taken within their own context and not compared to modern day cars. They are sold as old, mainly out-dated machines and come without any comeback whatsoever. They are my terms and conditions.
My classic cars are motoring antiques. This van, for example, is 56-years-old. It's not two, five or even ten-years-old as your own everyday car may be. It has been in service for more than half a century and so will have quirks and faults in there somewhere. However, faults on these old girls are not always apparent when buying and selling classics which is what I do. I do not restore them, nor do I pretend that they are concours cars. The majority of them go out as they came in, and I continue to enjoy finding more - a skill which is becoming increasingly difficult as many of you will be aware. They deserve to be taken on as "family pets" and cared for through thick and then. They don't make them any more and demand now out-strips supply. Please bear all this in mind, and enjoy your classic car. I can also assist with delivery and so please ask for a quote.
I have now been established as a one-man band classic car dealer for 25 years and pride myself on my buying prowess and - due to small margins - my prices which I firmly believe are up there among the very best in the UK classic car marketplace.
Got a classic to sell? Then please contact me first. I am a keen and swift buyer and do not waste your time by coming to look and kick the tyres. If your price is fair in my opinion, then you will be paid on the same day. My main enjoyment revolves around finding/ unearthing classic vehicles. I then re-home them with the smallest of margins and that is why, probably, that I sell so many so quickly. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Do away with the dreamers, losers, weekend day trippers and rude people. Just leave them all to me!
Thanks, Martin. the details below.
