That looks lovely... I remember being taken to school (along with about a dozen others!!!) in the back of a Mini Van in the 1980's...!!!

Looks very nice. I had no idea they made the van so early. You say it's 'the last classic car project' that you'll do - was it so gruelling? Probably once you've sold it and all that graft has been forgotten you'll get mysterious hankerings. That looks lovely...

Probably once you've sold it and all that graft has been forgotten you'll get mysterious hankerings. There are only a few cars on my wish list that are attainable prices, and this was always viewed as my "house deposit" car - buy, restore, drive for a few years, sell it and get a house. I can't see myself affording a house and a 60's Mustang at the same time unfortunately. The classic car list so far is: 91 Mini 79 Bay Window Camper 70 Imp 72 Imp 81 Clubman (HL) Estate 99 Cooper 60 Van More than enough for a 26 year old to have owned and driven, plus the buying and selling got me an A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI which more than suits my need for speed at the moment (Until I can afford a Tesla!)
