It may be an ex bt van, not sure exactly when they changed the colour from yellow to grey.
Sounds interesting!
I will say however, that it is a darker shade of yellow for the bottom quarter and a much brighter yellow for the top, it's quite tricky to see the difference from looking at the pictures.

I cant believe how original it is-someone has obviously cared for it over the years. Even the interior looks great-you would be hard pressed to find a 5 year old van looking so good!
I agree
The previous owner did not really want to get rid of it, even though lots of people told him to scrap it. He said it had been good to him.
It's not perfect, the interior dash is quite dirty (will attack that later on) and some of the plastic bits are falling out.
The engine loves the choke, more than the mini.

I had a grey 1.3 tatty one (possibly BT with roof rack???) when i first passed my test,
never let me down and brother in law had its about 6 years before me.

I agree, it's the comfiest car I've driven, I have driven a few!
Can't wait to get it back on the road, it needs a good run as the previous owner didn't drive it far.

Yellow and black theme would be great, so find another grille on ebay and spray it up. Lowered springs, stiff shocks and some nice period alloys and it's perfect!

Not sure about modifying, would like some nice alloys though, not sure if 13" minilites would fit? x 7 would look really smart I think!

Not sure about the Minilites, think they'd have to have chunky tyres and have the car lowered too. A google search shows the Maestro and Montego had 4x3.75" PCD, same as MGF and TR7, but the vans were 4x100mm, giving you just about the biggest range of wheels going, lucky!

I have fond memories of him thrashing the knackers off it with me rolling round in the back.

love it!
i agree that if you want to mod it, only do things that can be changed back, 4x100 pcd really is the biggest range of wheels ever!!
ill keep watching this it really is ace!!
