I think you'd have to get rid just in case someone decides to cave in your irreplaceable* glass...

Yup. Every chance someone is going to stuff the window thanks to the Jim'll sticker. Shame in a way as period stickers are great.

It's a £1,250 van for £3,950 and if you do convert it back to diesel you're essentially faced with a ticking time bomb 2.2HDi or a spazzy 2.3 Iv*co engine. 

Looking at these lately, what's the engine to go for? Facebook has the 3.0 down as the best of the bunch as the 2.0 and 2.2 are as you say, ticking time bombs. No negative opinions on the 2.3 though?

The 2.0 seems ok, the 2.2 is a bit of a gamble, imho.

Yes, mine did back in the mid-nineties: a rough hand painted red 2 door, c.1960. It was minging. Can’t recall clearly now, but think I bought it for a few quid from the short lived dodgy car auctions off The Level down Lewes Rd, Brighton. Used to park it on the main A259 road outside my flat in Kemptown, if anyone remembers seeing it. When I’d had enough, advertised it locally and it was bought by a self-appointed junior “marque expert” from Peacehaven. Daft lad. Wonder if it made it back on the road or was dismantled for parts . . . Not long after, I found another in a front garden in Bexhill, bought it and had two reliable years out of it. I even commuted from Brighton to Haywards Heath in it for a few months. Hand painted/ rattle canned grey primer and green, a great car. Possibly the last years of genuinely cheap workable Minors.
