1968 A35 Van Immaculate Condition SOLD

Austin A35 Van 1968
1968 was the last year of production for the A35 Van, the saloon version having been replaced by the A40 some years earlier. There are not many vans left as no doubt they lead harder lives than the saloons. I bought this van in November 2009. The intention was to use it as a promotional vehicle for my wife’s business. That never happened, partly because we couldn’t bring ourselves to have it sign-written, as it was just so lovely, a fortunate delay as it happened as her business changed direction.

This particular van is virtually concours. I bought it from a dealer, who had aquired it from the estate of an elderly gentleman from Yorkshire. Due to the circumstances of this acquisition there is little documentation, but any prospective purchaser is welcome to thoroughly inspect the vehicle and bring with them anyone who may assist them.
The odometer reads around 2000 miles, which is clearly incorrect, but was I am told reset after a total restoration. It read 800 miles when I bought the van.
The paintwork is just about flawless and it drives like a new vehicle. Chrome is very good, the engine bay is clean and tidy and the interior lovely. The elderly gent has fitted fog lights, reversing lights, radio etc. and labeled various things. I’ve left as I found them as they add to the charm of this delightful little van.
It is ready to go and requires no work. It will win prizes as it is, but if you wanted to take it to the final level very little is required.
There is no doubt that this is the best available. Only someone aiming at a concours win would want to improve on it, perhaps removing fog lights, reversing lights, radio for the sake of originality. A small amount of detailing in the engine bay, some proper mats and new pedal rubbers and that's about it.

Classic Buyer lists a very good A35 Van at £ 7, 000, this is much better than very good and therefore I am asking for £ 7, 995. If you want the best available you have found it.
I will consider a p/ ex as a convenience, but nothing rusty or overpriced please.
