OK, where to start first...
Rascal Remastered.
Firstly, registration plate is not for sale with the vehicle, I will take this off if vehicle sells. I'm also in no rush to sell this van, I'm not even sure I want to sell it, I'm just testing the water, and if it sells for a figure I like then fine, but if it doesn't then I'll just enjoy it. Also, no time wasters!
I bought this van about 3 years ago, I'd been after a Rascal for a while to carry out a Restomod and as I'm sure enthusiasts will know, trying to find a decent one to start with are few and far between, then out of the blue this one became available, and it was only about 1/2 hour from where I live. Many you see now are rusting away but this one (it was red at time) was a really good base to start the Restomod. The guy who I bought it off had carried out some work already, he told me it had been in dry storage with the previous owner for about 10 years and he had recommissioned it, it was in great nick for one of these vans, panels were good, only a bit of surface rust in a few tiny places (I have pictures prior to all the work carried out) I quickly agreed a deal as there was a lot of interest and the seller kindly agreed to deliver it on a trailer to the company carrying out the Restomod work for me.
Next it was down to Moore 4 Motors Ltd in Belbroughton West Midlands. I deal with Allan there and he agreed to take the Resto work on for me. Allan and his team did a great job (I have all the photos). I guess over the two stints he had the van he had it for nearly 12 months. I'll list all the work it's had done later in the advert, but it had a complete strip back respray and built up from scratch. It wasn't cheap as you can see by the photo's. I had been liaising with Street Machine Magazine last year as they wanted to do a feature on it and if I don't sell it that's what I will do.
The van never goes outside in the wet or is driven in the wet. It is stored in my garage - with underfloor heating - under a professional vehicle cover at all times. It has been fully wax-oiled underneath by Allan and his team.
I really think this is the best Rascal van in the country if not Europe (or even the world!), the photo's do not do it justice. I'll now list what it's had done to it, and what it's got on it. If you want more photos please contact me as I have loads.

The engine was serviced last year, it has no leaks and is a good engine with low mileage (it's done only 44.000 miles from new) It has an MOT until 24/09/2020. There is no finance on the vehicle.
There is a lot more items to list I think - I'll have to add as I go along but as you can see it's had thousands spent on it, also a lot of the parts are genuine Suzuki (thanks to Steve from Suzuki in Bilston) I have a big folder full of receipts.
Just to give you an idea of what work has gone into this - the rear 'Rascal Remastered' badge I had done on the back of the vehicle (I also have a spare) was designed and made by Howard Bros in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. They design and make the badges for Aston Martin, Bentley and others.
If you wish to view the vehicle bear in mind I don't take it out in wet weather and you'll have to bring a certificate of insurance if you wish to test drive it. Based Coventry / Solihull area
