We bought a ‘06 vito for £200 (Mot fail).

It was wrapped in company livery and tatty/faded; Took two days of heat gun, glue and tar remover and a mop-over with cutting compound then a final polish and wax. Soul destroying work but kept me busy during lock down.

Looks quite tidy now... 280,000miles...synchros are a bit worn so cant rush the gears unless I double clutch; quite satisfying whenI get it right
