Keys: X 2
I bought this van approximately 12 months ago direct from the Ministry of Defence. It came with no registration plates so it had to be re registered with the DVLA. Having previously been an owner of a Campervan conversion company, I was missing having a campervan in my life so decided to build one for myself.
The van has covered just over 75k miles and was MOT'd at the end of last October. It originally failed for some minor defects that you can see if you check the MOT history on the DVLA page. However, I got the garage to fix everything including any advisories, so now it has a completely clean certificate valid until October 23rd 2024. The van has covered around 1000 miles since MOT. It has never been used as a Campervan and has only been driven locally to stop things from seizing up.
Reason For Sale
I am regrettably selling this van without having ever had the chance to use her. New work commitments along with the arrival of my first child, simply mean I wont have time to put her to good use. I hope someone gets the chance to take her on the adventures she deserves!
