Well I'm sure you all know the one I mean as it was very comprehensively documented on here by the man himself Bruce aka Mystery Machine. I was lucky enough to buy it earlier this year and have the pleasure of owning it but a few unexpected things have happened over the last 5 / 6 weeks and I have made the decision to put it up for sale.
It is currently taxed and tested , petrol in it ready to go after another quick wash and fluid checks.
tax end of August , MOT 17-02-14
I could go on and on about it but the best thing to do is read "MM" threads on it and then ring me if you are genuienly interested. Please note, I do not need any timewasters or pictures collectors as I have a lot going on at the moment./font]
I have a file of pics that I can email to any genuine buyers and a few more recent ones that I need to get on this thread if someone could kindly put them on for me as I am having problems getting them on at the moment, sorry.
The van is in Penrhyn Bay very close to Llandudno, viewing it is definetly worth it and you will get tea & biscuits whether you buy it or not.
As for the asking price to keep to the rules, it is £3,000
genuine buyers please contact me on 07595320218 ( witheld numbers & texts will not be answered )
I will be putting it on 3 other forums sometime over the weekend if time permits

Such a shame you've got to sell this.   MM's Rascal build thread. Let's get a price and location in the title so we can get this out of Purgatory and off to a new owner... |

I didn't realise that you'd bought it. I asked Bruce about this last year but didn't have the cash at the time.  And now it's £1k more! (I guess it's because it now has an MOT?) |

No not just an MOT , it needed a few more jobs which Bruce and I discussed and he also organised some bodywork / paint for me before I took delivery of it and I have spent a few quid myself. I'm just trying to get my money back as I'm sure Bruce will confirm. |

Sorry I wasn't implying that you were turning a profit on it. So the black sill panels are painted and other outstanding work completed now? I do still aspire to own this van but can't see me passing up my cube for it.

Sorry I have not been on for a few days but we had a bereavement to deal with which always puts things in perspective. It also gave me time to think about things too.
So , the closest offer to £3,000 buys it.
I think I have answered any outstanding pm's if I have missed any please get in touch. I would take a Honda Zoomer in a deal |

I tried to get it into the Llandudno show a few weeks back but couldn't get a pass Drop in for a brew if you are passing , the kettle is always on here  |

And now it's £1k more! (I guess it's because it now has an MOT?) When you enquired about the car, the price I mentioned was 'as is'. Since then it's had a new radiator, water pump & thermostat (all done because the water pump started dripping). It also had an MOT and 6 months tax. On top of all that, PedalcarJoe asked for various bits of bodywork to be done. I was pretty happy with is as it was and had it booked in to paint the front wheel arch steps where they had been replaced, but it also then had some other bits done, as requested, which included the tailgate because it has a couple of dents in it, tailgate closing panel (to sort some very minor rust bubbles) and the area around the fuel filler flap because this was the only bodywork that actually had a hole in it (about 10mm square). With all this done, the price went up because it was a fair bit of work and obviously a fair expense. Both of which I was happy to do and PedalcarJoe was happy to pay over and above what we'd initially agreed. Despite having built many cars over the years, this is the one I probbaly regret selling the most. It's got such a charming character, is the one that seems to make EVERYONE smile and the one I miss the most. If I was in a position to buy it back, I most certainly would. Unfortunately, the only thing stopping me is a complete lack of money...otherwise this advert would have a sold sign on it and the Rascal would be back in Bristol and tucked away in my garage. I love this little thing and I'm kinda hoping some wealthy, generous person buys it for me so I can keep it and never think of selling it again. Until such time, I'll keep looking down the back of the sofa and tucking away the odd bit of pocket change. Worth every single penny if you ask me and I'd happily pay it if I had it.... Good luck with the sale PCJ, I know how much you love this and how sorry you'll be to see it go |

I'm open to a realistic offer by the end of the month. Thanks Bruce for your comments, you and I both know how much I have in the Rascal which doesn't really matter as I just had to have it when the opportunity came up. Being a bit of a fussy old fart I started to improve it to suit me which I'm glad you did for me as it looks better now and I'm sure the next owner will benefit from. OK I may loose a few quid but at least I have had the fun of owning it for a bit so if anyone is actually serious about owning this Rascal please give me a call on 07595320218. a decent deposit will hold it so it might be worth a call |
