I do wonder how something like this end up with company that specialises in Vans Sales.

A bit late for me to buy now though. I guess something like a younger owner that needs a van for work.

Not sure why this light is on with the ignition off?

Reg. is correct for late 1968 into early 1969 - South West London area. The oil light sender switch has likely failed or been incorrectly wired.
Is that a oil sender or oil filter blocked light?

As tempting as it is, it is a bit scruffy and unknown what the body will be like. It is a bit more legit than the one I'm supposed to be getting.

Had I not bought a car recently I’d be on my way to view that, it’s been on my list of want for quite a long time and only 30 mins from my house.

Sell the daily and buy that to use instead?

In other words you'd like to keep your bollocks firmly attached to the rest of your body?

I know that'd happen to me if I suggested replacing the Citigo, it even has a name.

A cruiser imo, I’ve never fancied the turbo with its lag. I do love an auto too, especially for where I live.

I think one that late will probably have a blocked filter warning sender but I'm thinking of the actual pressure sender that would normally trigger the lamp - they can short circuit internally.
