The Appeal
When did you last see one of these?!
Back in the 1980s, there would have been hundreds of these BT-branded yellow Maestro vans buzzing around. But few thought to preserve these pieces of cultural history, meaning we have a very rare opportunity to acquire one of these capable, and dare we say, iconic vans.
This 1986 example is remarkably original, retaining its original racking, toolbox, and even some old phones inside. For enthusiasts of commercial vehicles, telecommunications history, or simply those looking for a distinctive classic with practical usability, this Maestro Van presents an increasingly rare opportunity to own a piece of British working heritage.
