Fresh from body restoration in 2021, this Speedwell Blue Mini Van was first registered in January 1979. Although originally an 848cc model, it has been upgraded with a 998cc engine, although the V5C still shows it with an 848cc engine in place, so this will need to be updated with the DVLA. Five registered keepers are recorded and the recorded mileage on the odometer is 73,471. There is no current MoT, but as an historic vehicle, the Mini no longer requires one. The paperwork file runs to just the V5C plus photos of the restoration (with some of the shots showing the van on a rotisserie). The vendor tells us that, where required, British Motor Heritage panels were fitted where possible.
