Barn find

Post by julianz32 »

Hi everyone,
I'm a new member as I have recently come across a barn find in a friends garage that I'm keen to buy.
I would be interested to know what you guys feel would be a reasonable price for me to purchase this vehicle?
Its a 1948 utility van in good condition with 29,000 miles shown on the clock.

The vehicle was lovingly stored some eight years ago and all the underside has been greased.
There is very little body rust. No battery but the engine turned over with the starter handle.

Email me if you want me to send you images. jm@douglasframe.co.uk

Julan: -

Just to let you know - you are in the right place!

There will be no end of advice from 'those in the know' and you would be very welcome at Section meetings - even without membership - well for a start anyway!

I started with a 'scrap' Bradford in 1963 and I haven't looked back since.

I hope oyu get all the advice you need and look forward to watching progress here.

I cannot offer advice on prices now, but my Bradford cost £5 - and I was robbed at that!
The devil is in the detail!
