Extremely Rare. Restored circa 40 years ago, dry stored 20 years
Sadly, my father has moved to a care home and his assets are being sold including his Raleigh Van.
Finished in green and sign written with the garage he ran for 50+ years. He restored the van over 40 years ago, and exhibited at many shows, For the past 20ish years it has sat in my father’s garage under blankets. The garage is dry, the engine turns over and the van pushes easily.
Clearly sitting for that long the car needs recommissioning but is in fair condition in my opinion.
Included in the sale is a selection of spares:
· Spare engine
· Spare axles
The van is correctly registered and there are no restrictions on the V5C regarding the number plate. The number plate is worth more than the starting price.”
