Up for auction is my Suzuki RV50 VanVan, a rare little classic that I bought around 11 years ago with the plan of restoring. Unfortunately, I haven’t managed to get around to it, and it deserves to be put back on the road.

  • Purchased in the UK, with the previous owner having originally imported it from France – comes with Declaration de Cession paperwork.
  • It will require registering with the DVLA should you wish to use it on UK roads.

Condition:

  • Frame is solid and in good condition, but could do with a paint refresh.
  • Top white panel requires repair where it attaches under the seat.
  • Seat needs recovering.
  • Engine casings, lights and a few small parts will need sourcing.
  • Replacement exhaust included (not yet fitted).
  • No obvious rust.

Mechanical:

  • Engine appears to have good compression, but I’ve not tried to start it.
  • Gears select and appear to work fine.

Extras Included:

  • 2 x genuine Suzuki parts catalogues.

This is a great project for someone who loves small Japanese classics. The RV50 VanVan is becoming harder to find, and this example would make a very rewarding restoration.

I’ll genuinely be sad to see it go!
