I am very sad to be selling this van which was my work van for many years. I previously posted a thread about how she was stolen and recovered (http://www.maestro.org.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=8747), and then after that I did her up a bit, but now she has sat (and sat and sat and sat) for some years and needs some TLC. It's selfish of me to think that I will ever be able to get her running again myself - she needs to be in the hands of someone who has the technical expertise to get and keep her going.
Of course, as you would expect, she starts first time every time (when the battery is good!). The battery was replaced with a second hand one last year, but apart from that she's had nothing done since I stopped driving her. I would suggest that you consider coming and doing work on her before driving her away, unless you plan to move her on a low-loader. She'll need minimum an oil change and engine flush, and she needs at least one wheel changing as she has a flat! If you prefer I can make arrangements with a local garage to do the work on your behalf (or put you in touch with them).
So sad to see her go, but she must. Photos to follow. I have no idea on price, really - she's a rarity in that she still has her London Fire Brigade tax disk on display (obviously she was changed over to standard domestic tax when I bought her!). I still have some colour matched paint, a solid metal driving wheel lock and a roof rack (from a previous Maestro van) which are all included in this sale. I need every penny I can get right now so is £500 too much? Please give me your thoughts on that.
Edit to add: Mileage is 68050 and a full set of pics are available to look at here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/75026680@N04/8ErXr8
Any problems accessing that album please let me know - that was just the best way I could think of to show the best quality pics.
Price - open to offers over £500. I was amazed today how good the bodywork is - she's in great condition. The worst two things as you will see from the pics are cracked dashboard and drivers door seal has moved, and leaked for a year. It was dry when looked at last year, and now has a damp carpet!
I will add more pics tomorrow - the roof rack!
She is Diesel, and she's a 500. Anything else you want to know - please just ask.
