Seller's comments about 1938' Austin Avk

This is an Original 1938 Austin 7 AVK van, (With History) and has the original engine. The conversion was (at the time of first registration a chassis cab ordered from Austin and sent to Vincent of Reading) for Mr J England. and there have been 4 other owners of the van including myself since. As can be seen in the photo records it has been taken back to it chassis and rebuilt again cleaning and repairing everything in the process. The the road springs have been removed and replaced with new, all the bearings in the rear axle replaced with new bearings, fitted new king pins, refurbished the gear box (by a professional), overhauled the engine, fitted a new wiring loom. replaced all the steering linkage, replaced the steering box, refurbished the horn & semaphore switches, the chassis taken back to bear metal and red oxide gloss painted and undersealed. The body was removed and the underneath repaired as needed, red oxide and glossed,, the main body of the vehicle has been taken back to bear metal etched primed and glossed, the wheels have been powder coated, the inside has been re upholstered, the doors were stripped and red oxide before new door cards were fitted, new window winders fitted, the windscreen has been polished (by a professional glass polisher) to remove 82 years of use, it has 4 new tyres and (for safety see & be seen) it has all LED bulbs & is 6v. You will go a long way to find a late van and even further to find one in this excellent condition.
