1980 Classic British Leyland FG Vintage 'Blank Canvas' For Sale

Classic British Leyland FG Vintage Camper Van / Catering Truck / Glamping Unit 'blank canvas'

Classic Leyland FG Redline 350, ex Initial Service Laundry van so has had a light working life.
Very rare now as so many of these iconic vans have rusted away.... this Leyland FG was built in 1980 to the same design as the 1960's / 1970's BMC / Morris FG vans.

Can be driven on a regular car licence as it only weighs 1. 5 tonnes unladen, yet can carry up to 3. 5 tonnes gross weight. Normal class 4 MOT and cheap to insure as its a classic vehicle

Genuine 83000 miles on original 2. 2 litre diesel engine which has recently had new engine mounts, reconditioned water pump fitted with new radiator hoses & all stainless steel hose fittings plus new antifreeze and new fan belt. (engine smokes on start up but fine when warm) Good gearbox and rear differential, front and rear brakes recently fitted with relined shoes all round. Army ambulance issue wheels with chunky tyres x5, spare stored under rear of van. Tow ball with towing electrics.

This beautiful classic vehicle with plenty of charm starts first time and is a great little runner returning roughly 30mpg on a run. Steering is heavy as not power assisted but fine as long as you are moving. 12 volt electrics with H4 halogen headlight conversion for great night time visibility.

Aluminium rear box is fully insulated and over clad in larch panelling also with sanded wooden larch floor boards. The interior is a 'blank canvas' and ready for your imagination to take over....

This classic van was in Shane Meadows 'This is England' and has great further potential for film work or a catering van, vintage camper van, classic glamping unit etc etc. Watch George Clark's 'Amazing Spaces' to get your creative juices flowing.....

Will come with a fresh 12 months MOT and is currently SORN

In two years time this beautiful iconic van will be both Tax exempt & MOT exempt
