If this is indeed an unmolested van totally untouched with that mileage then yes I can see how its valaue would be over the norm, but 15k lol that guy is dreaming.

Just think though if some company wanted a usable promotional vehicle off set against tax with low insurance and no road tax parts easy to come by, and hold its value better than a new vehicle when resold, they would jump at the chance. Companys often pay three times that to have these old style looking conversions on Transits and other vehicles to use as promotional vehicles. Near were I live there's a builder that has a morris pick up that he uses as a works van with the sign writting on the side I bet people notice his van more than if it was a modern. What your buying here is basically an almost new van not some patched up wreck or a resto. When I worked in the trade it was not unknown for a new car to sit in a dealers back lot for 18 months then be used as a demo car and still be sold as an ex demo and almost new with about the same milage, so this has sat longer whats the differance!

Hi

I am allways very sceptical about these sort of cars, even if they have been dry stored they still go rusty! This one maybe perfect, but still needs a good looking at.

Cheers

Dave
