Well I think the reg is rather fitting for this one.. Haha

Not my cup of tea, and it's a crime it's been turned into this! Some people! Haha

Oh dear! Looked much better in it's original form.

Why did it get resprayed in the black mess? It was red all over just 6 months back

My eyes, my burning eyes!

Did you go and view it to buy it chris? Is that how you know!? Haha, I thought I'd seen it before actually!

i think im in the minority of one, in that i both like this van, and think the black and red combo suits it better than the 'all over' red it sported before.

if i had the time and the space for another 'slighty wrong' unloved mini project i would be all over this like a rash!


its a little slice of mini history and should be kept, just to remind people that it wasnt always about 100 point restored cooper s's and factory fresh 1959's


its also pretty obvious that someone at the dvla has a sense of humour, how else did it get lumbered with a 'YUK' plate

Perhaps he just got carried away with the underseal ?!

Saw a Marina like that back in the '80's,black underseal all the way up to the windows ! P*ssed mesen

I think i may be related to rich as i like that as well!

I love the rear door

I would change the lights to something more period and remove the vents!

Then paint it gold with a set of d1s

hmmmmmmm

and its near me - thank god i cant afford it!

Cheap van in all honesty

Still had the link to the old advert

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI. ... 500wt_1156


EDIT:

I now notice that some point during the past 3 owners the registration has been sold on.

The red version looks miles better and that's saying something.. I think your right, it undersealed all the way up! Haha

"spent two and a half years and £25,000 rebuilding this car"

I'm almost speechless!

Id buy it if I had the cash

then it be changed back to what it should be!! Or a pickup depends haha

looks awful though!

Crushed or flattened????

your next project!!!!

its got its own drinks cabinet, what more do you want?

Interestingly this van was registered one day earlier than the Marigold one on the other thread .

the yuk mobile is up for sale again if anyone fancies a unique and rewarding project....


http://www.swva.co.uk/latest-auction-catalogue-2

its lot 13 (unlucky for some!) in the classics auction

Accordingly this must be the oldest Minivan recorded if you believe the info on the auction site, in that case it would be a cheap purchase, then return it to van status and then it should be worth £20,000 !!!
