Babs. For Sale.

Thought I'd mention on here first before advertising elsewhere as I have been presented with a situation that forces me to put Babs up for sale. Needless to say I am completely gutted and cannot believe I am writing this.

most of you will know Babs' recent history, but for the benefit of anyone reading this that does not, here it is in a nutshell.

1969 PB Autosleeper, completely refitted to trade as a mobile espresso van, this interior and all the kit will remain, my intention is to offer for her sale as a viable business, however should there be no interest in her then I will remove the equipment, then reinstate as a camper and re-advertise accordingly.

Recent MOT (last month - no advisories)
Structurally 100% sound, no mechanical issues, non overdrive box. Bodywork is ok, presentable but no show winner.
She has an Astoria two piston espresso machine, just serviced and descaled last weekend, very solid and totally reliable.
Comes with absolutely everything to serve coffees, hot drinks, cold drinks (still space to fit other kit like a donut machine or hot dog warmer), however fully stocked to trade as is. Quite literally just add water and away you go.
Machine runs on either LPG or 240v electrics, van has 240 hook up and a 12v 110Ah leisure battery with a 600w inverter to run ancilliary electrics when running on the gas and not hooked up to 240v.

Nothing would please me more than to see Babs continue trading, so if you've got this far and would be interested please PM me and I'd be happy to discuss in more detail.

A very unhappy

John.:(

beautiful - i dont have the need for one but a friend of mine wierdly is setting up a business down my way and might be great for him, do you have a rough idea of what you wanted to achieve for Babs. Cant promise anything but worth a try

I can vouch for the quality of the coffee production! and the reliability of Babs - It truly is a van working on a daily basis
what a shock - I will have to hang over the fence and have a chat John

Hi John, I've sent you an email.... is this the same as 'PM', sorry new to the forum and still finding my way round. I managed to post a comment in the chat section just to say hello as a new member.... Been looking for a Commer for some time now and recently completed a 'Barista' course...... so who knows may be Babs could be the one? Look forward to seeing some photos, Rachel
 
Deposit taken,:) seems Babs is sold and soon off to pastures new.:( Can't stand it when things force you to do things you don't want to, but onwards and upwards though, so does anyone have a panel van for sale???:D

Congrats on getting Babs

If you die owing money you've made a profit
 
are you going to keep her working or convert back to a camper?

Hi, definitely keep as 'Commer Coffee'.... looking forward to markets, festivals & shows etc.... initially wanted a camper, but this feels like destiny!! Do any Commer meets happen down in the South West?
 
i know plymouth fairly well from my time in the Navy
