Nice van but would imagine the seller is a dealer .Where do the sellers get these prices from ? soon younger members wont be able to afford any Minor.

Sold for £15,000.

[irmscher]

That's a stupid price

[Rasputin]

Not if you`re the seller.

[irmscher]

maybe it will resurface in a couple of weeks for sale again

Another one has appeared on Ebay a maroon one £15,000

Nice but not as original as the other one. I think those prices are exceptional , even so, the first one sold.

I suppose the price reflects the rarity of the vans and pick-ups.....they were worked hard and, in many cases, worked into the ground - or worked to death, if you prefer. Therefore, fewer of these survive......
But, yes, some prices now seem astonishing, given that the Minor was a car which, until comparitively recently, could be picked up in good condition fairly cheaply.

I am sure that I am not alone in completing a full and thorough restoration on an LCV, so am not surprised at these prices--indeed I know that they are a snip! I have already passed that amount mentioned and am not finished yet!
Immaterial to me, as I will never sell mine.

I have to say that I agree with John. Although this seems a great deal of money, I don't think it is a great surprise. It would be very easy to spend much more than £15,000 on a restoration - and you'd have to pay a few thousand for a restorable pick-up in the first place of course.
Times have changed haven't they!
