i'm not the most informed guy on here but it sounds like i have the same type of thing Norm, mines a 99, T-reg 500 van fitted with the 1.3 engine and kph speedo and lhd carpet etc, i have read these were bought in kit form and built by a company/chap in Ledbury.
surprisingly mine too has survived really well, remarkable when you consider it was stood on a farm for 7 years
i do plan to get her on the road as soon as time allows (maybe over the winter)Last edited by si.; 12th August 2014, 13:28.

Norm, your car sounds like a classic Ledbury car.
Semi knock down kit cars destined for export to bulgaria but they never went. A firm built the kits in Ledbury (hence the name) and then sold them off. Available in dark blue, white and red.www.maestroturbo.org.uk - The Tickford Maestro Turbo Register

reading the new posts pages over time i think the vans are more at risk of being scraped as they seem to rust more quickly maybe due to being a commercial vehicle and less looked after.i cannot remember seeing a van for a few years here in brum.i did see a ledbury van about 2002 but its been years since i seen that one
