Saw that .. by the time you'd finished you'd have a 1983 minivan that owed you at least £50k. Good luck with that.

A bit pricey but, as he says, probably unique?
That's been a good investment hasn't it. We used to be able to purchase new shells (minus doors) at work for about £200 I seem to remember! I wish I'd bought a few!! :shock:

No link or info but passing through Fosters Booth on the A5 twice this week I noticed a very tidy looking W reg'd white Mini Pickup for sale at Johns Motors, I didn't see what the price was unfortunately, He often has some nice BMC / BL era stuff for sale.
