DOWNTON Mini is what I like a lot.

I agree with Nick
An after market "Krytens Head" tank, but not a Serck one.

As it is 'undergoing restoration' I presume the price is what it will be when complete? Otherwise why advertise a vehicle that you're planning to restore - all seems a very strange approach.

I think you are possibly correct. But a very odd advert none the less.

it is a bit vague....
"THIS INCREDIBLE ORIGINAL UNTOUCHED MINI VAN IS UNDERGOING A CAREFUL RESTORATION TO KEEP AS ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE"
Presumably, then this means this is the restored price ?

Maybe they are hoping someone will leave a hefty deposit to help with cash flow during the restoration.
I like the look of the Audi 80 next to it.
I had a gander at the other things and spotted this, don't tell Rich though as he might have to sell a kidney.

Looks like they’re fishing for a customer to pay up front for the work on that van. Sounds strangely familiar!
Run a mile I say!

Reading between the lines looks these vans were previously owned by a member of this forum
The best repairs go un-noticed

I thought that was a reasonable project. I imagine that somebody has been and viewed it and a cash offer has been agreed upon?

Looks that way though the blurb did say he might have to pull it as he was waiting for the V5. Either way it looked a great project
