hey guys im thinking of selling my 1978 clubman van,the body is in pretty good nick original paint work,its unregestered and motor may need rebuilding.just wondering if any1 could give me an idea of what i could get for it in that kind of condition?

whatever the punters on ebay bid it up to... maybe $1500 - not having a running engine cuts the value considerably

How long is a peice of string?

Doogie

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

twice the length from the centre to one end.

I purchased my Van for $1500 not running 5 years ago ..But I was lucky with mine. There is a defundantly market for Vans

I got second place with it at the Muster 09 in the commercial section. I have not bothered to advertise it any where else besides the MOCQ site But I am sure someone will buy it one day. I am in no rush to sell it, is as good as money in the bank. Panel Vans are extremely hard to get today especially windowless ones. And most Vans had a hard life.

Depends what condition it's in and what's in it. They're supposed to be going up in value.

Also what's in it - mine is a 66 roundy, original bodyshell rust free, has just been repainted, 1360, discs, S gearbox, one oiece rear door, Cobras, etc, etc

Probably cost more than it's worth now, but in 10 years time who knows. They used to be so prolific, can't recall seeing one around town for a quite a while now.

I must have got a bargain then! Windowless van, 1100 motor running.....no smoke! Hardly any rust or bog. Not licensed but! $600.......and he didn't even flinch... I should have offerred less!

Mine was $2500 - recently restored, no rust except for a hole on the bonnet, and a rebuilt 1098 that hasn't burnt a drop of oil since I've had it.

Two years ago, I'm beginning to think it was the bargain of the century.

Also has cooper S offset drums and random improvements to the suspension. As an accurate restoration it's terrible, as a car it's great.

mmmmm now that makes me think maybe i should hold onto it,if they are geting that hard to come by
