Current V5 Present. Paperwork includes various invoices for work carried out.

The vendor has supplied the following:

I was told by the previous owner that the van started life in Horsham as a "meals on wheels" van with a lady owner from new.

It spent most of the time parked in the garage.

Ownership passed on to her son who was a farmer in 1998.

He used it occasionally until mot failure and then left in a barn.

The farmer's son-in-law also a farmer took over ownership in 2017 with the intention to restore one day but left the van in the barn.

Re-commissioning was never started so he decided to sell.

I purchased it at this point to restore.
