its mint!!!!!!!!!!! no rust one dent on it drives as new few small bits to sort rear brakes need sorting funny my other one needed the same i suspect compensator is seized common on ultra low miles vans
got no seat belts as they didnt have to have them in this van ?
going to swop a few bits with my other van as this only has 2 front seats i would like 3 but as same shell all swops easily

its like a museum price it was expensive but its amazing
and drove home no worries
