MORRIS Z VAN 1947 EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR THE YEAR VERY RELUCTANT SALE

HI. WELCOME TO THE SALE OF MY 1947 MORRIS Z VAN I THINK IT WAS LAST ON THE ROAD IN THE LATE 60`S AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR THE YEAR OF THE VEHICLE WITH VERY LITTLE LEFT TO DO TO GET IT ON THE ROAD AGAIN. THE VAN HAS BEEN REPAINTED AND ALTHOUGH NOT SUPERB IT IS TO A GOOD STANDARD AND PROBABLY BETTER THAN WHEN IT LEFT THE FACTORY. I HAVE HAD THE SEATS RECOVERED AND THE ROOF RECOVERED BUT THE ROOF NEEDS REFITTING . THIS IS THE THIRD OF MY CLASSIC VANS FOR SALE DUE TO LACK OF TIME. I PURCHASED THIS VAN APPROX 4 YEARS AGO AND IT STOOD IN MY GARAGE AT HOME WHILST I TRIED TO GET IT REGISTERED AS IT HAD NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD SINCE 1968. FTER JOINING THE VERY HELPFUL MORRIS COMMERCIAL CLUB WE MANAGED TO GET THE DVLA TO ISSUE ME A V5 AND THE ORIGINAL NUMBER PLATE ALTHOUGH IT IS NON TRANSFERABLE. HE V5 ACTUALLY SAYS THE DATE OF REGISTRATION IS 2011 BUT DECLARED MANUFACTURED IN 1947 AND LISTS ME AS THE ONLY OWNER. IT IS IN VERY SOLID CONDITION AND THERE IS NO FILLER IN THE BODY WHAT SO EVER. THE REAR WINGS ARE THE ORIGINAL RUBBER. THE VAN IS AS FAR AS I KNOW COMPLETE EVEN DOWN TO THE STARTING HANDLE AND ORIGINAL DOOR KEY WHICH LOCKS EVERY DOOR. HE FRONT WINDOW WINDS OUT AS IT SHOULD ALL BRAKE LININGS ARE NEW. HE TYRE SIDE WALLS ARE CRACKED BUT ALL HOLD AIR. HE CARS STARTS ON THE BUTTON BUT THE EXHAUST COULD DO WITH A NEW BOX WELDING IN AS THE ONE WHICH I WELDED IN IS TO LOUD. THE ROOF NEEDS FIXING TO THE TOP ( NOT A BIG JOB) I STILL HAVE THE RAISED PART OF THE ROOF WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY USED TO CARRY THE LADDERS. S IT WAS ORIGINALLY A POST OFFICE VAN IN THE LONDON AREA. THE WOOD WAS RENEWED A WHILE AGO BEFORE I ACQUIRED IT AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION JUST NEEDS SOME MORE VARNISH. THE DRIVERS DOOR PROTRUDES A BIT AT THE BOTTOM. HIS VAN COULD BE READY FOR THE ROAD WITH VERY VERY LITTLE ATTENTION THE LIGHTS NEED SORTING. HE BRAKES NEED SORTING AS THERE IS A LEAK FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER AFTER STANDING FOR A WHILE. HE ENGINE SOUNDS FINE BUT I HAVE OBVIOUSLY NOT DRIVEN IT ON THE ROAD THE RAD IS FINE THE INTERIOR IS FINE I HAVE SPENT £1000`S ON THIS VAN BUT CAN NOT FIND THE TIME TO FINISH I HAVE 3 VANS LISTED ON EBAY AND HOPE TO SELL 2 AND KEEP 1 NOT BOTHERED WHICH ONE BUT SECRETLY HOPE ITS THIS ONE AS ITS SO ORIGINAL YOU WILL NOT FIND ONE AS GOOD IN MY OPINION BUT PLEASE BEAR IN MIND IT IS 66 YEARS OLD. I HAVE PROBABLY MISSED LOADS SO FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS. THERE IS A PHOTO ALBUM RECORDING THE RESTORATION. VIEWING IS AVAILABLE PLEASE CALL 01782 399217 TO ARRANGE. WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY OFFERS TILL A NON REFUNDABLE CASH DEPOSIT IS IN MY HAND AND I WILL ONLY ACCEPT CASH AS PAYMENT. THANKYOU AND GOOD LUCK
