About This Vehicle

Some vehicles take themselves very seriously. This is not one of them!!

Now available at Fine Lines Classic Cars, we have a wonderful and characterful,1972 Austin 6 cwt van, the cheerful cousin of the ever popular Morris Minor van, and quite possibly the only classic commercial that can make people smile before it has even started. With charming links to Smiths Butchers of Ibstock, Leicestershire, this delightful “Moggy” wears its history proudly, complete with beautifully hand painted signwriting that gives it all the presence of a bygone high street.

Step around to the rear and the story really comes to life. Lovingly set up as a traditional butcher’s van, it is brimming with character. You will find an apron, scales, a mincing machine, a model pig, a butcher’s hat, a wicker basket, and even a diagram showing the cuts of meat. It is part theatre, part nostalgia, and entirely brilliant. The rear is neatly lined, making it as practical as it is eye catching.

Inside, the cabin is finished with comfortable cloth seats that offer a pleasant place to sit as you trundle along, adding a touch of everyday usability to all the charm and character.

Underneath the charm lies a series of thoughtful upgrades that make this van a joy to use in the modern world. It benefits from a 5 speed gearbox paired with the trusty 1098 engine, giving it a more relaxed cruising ability. All round disc brakes with a servo inspire confidence, while nearly new radial tyres and alloy wheels provide improved grip and stance. An alternator, immobiliser, and standard heater temperature and oil pressure gauge add further usability, making this a classic you can actually enjoy without compromise.

It has clearly been cherished, with a comprehensive history file and a long list of recent works including a new battery, alternator, full brake overhaul, carburettor overhaul, water pump, thermostat, and starter motor. It starts, drives, and behaves exactly as a well cared for example should.

On the road, it is an absolute hoot to drive. Slow enough to enjoy, lively enough to keep you grinning, and guaranteed to draw attention wherever it goes. Whether at a car show, a local event, or simply parked outside your favourite café, it never fails to attract a crowd.

A wonderfully eccentric piece of British motoring history that refuses to be ignored. If you are looking for something memorable, you may have just found it!!

Classed as a historic vehicle, it benefits from free road tax and is MOT exempt, although it will be supplied with 12 months MOT for added peace of mind.
