This 1965 Morris Mini 850 van is in really good condition, and has had over £4000 spent on recommissioning about 18 months ago at a local Mini specialist. It starts, runs and drives well and is good to go. It appears it was damaged about 20 years ago and was a CAT B. These days they cannot go back on the road but that wasnt always the case. We have a current V5 issued in 2025 and receipts for all the recent work done. Generally, vans in this condition without the marker will be 20k plus. We also have a British Motor Heritage build certificate with the van.

Bodywork.

Very solid shell. All body colour underneath. Not sure what works been done on it but all looks proper with no nasty patches or welds. Paintwork is very nice with only a few very minor marks. Small rub through from polishing on raised roof line but overall a very presentable van.

Mechanics.

Starts, runs and drives well. Work done in early 2025 includes strip down fix and reinstall dynamo, clean fix and adjust control box, fix wipers, 4 new tyres, new brake shoes and clean and adjust, strip clean and regrease rear nearside wheel bearing, adjust exhaust so not hitting subframe, strip front brakes, replace all wheel cylinders, replace steering rack, replace track rod ends, strip all ball joints check and shim, replace bottom arm bushes, replace master cylinder, change oil and filter, adjust valve clearances, replace engine steady bar bushes, replace fan belt, fit electronic ignition, strip clean and check carb, oil pressure switch and air filter.

Interior.

Very tidy and clean interior and maintained to an exceptionally high standard.

Wheels.

Original steels which have been refurbished with 4 new tyres.

Our thoughts.

A very tidy old van. You are welcome to come and see it and we have a ramp so you can look underneath. Delivery can be arranged if required. Please ask for a delivery quote or contact us with any questions. Thanks for looking.
