This Austin 8cwt van - a badge-engineered Morris Minor sold as an Austin from 1968 after production of the A35 van ceased - was registered in November 1970 and now shows 82,493 miles on its odometer. The vendor tells us that the engine was rebuilt at circa 80,000 miles while we're told that other fitments are new tyres all around, electronic ignition, stainless steel exhaust, battery, carpets and freshly upholstered seats. The van was previously blue but had its colour changed in 1993. As an historic vehicle, the van no longer requires an MoT; its last expired in December 2009. The history folder includes the V5C, old tax discs, some 2017 and 2018 invoices for the revamp of the interior and MoT certificates from 1992 to 1994 and 2000 to 2008. There's also some catalogues of spares from a few companies, a list of suppliers, and two BMC Service parts lists.
