I paid £400 for the old van, but its been an interesting ownership. I had a girl who crahed into the nearside rear corner one afternoon and her dad spoke to me and offered £500 for me to settle out the insurance so the van doesnt owe me anything. Ive stripped nearly everyhting off it so i can sell it on seperately. I got £130 for the van.

This is when i left it at the scrap yard.
