The engine runs well, and the van drives smoothly. The interior is quite basic and could do with some TLC here and there, though it's perfectly functional. It's been dry stored under current ownership and undersealed, so the chassis and paintwork are in good shape, with some light surface corrosion and wear in places.
Overall, the van is in good working order, and it is sad to see it go. If you would like more information or have any questions, get in touch.
