AVD Pickup Van: This is a pretty rare AVD Pickup Van - a four-wheeled load carrier with a van body. It has both pedals (with a SRAM 7-speed hub gear) and an electric motor system based on a Lynch 1kW motor driving the rear axle. The in-built electric system also powers the lights - two front, two back - and the indicators, again two front, two back. It’s got Sturmey Archer drum brakes on all four wheels, with parking brakes, and there’s an ignition system for the electrics.

I got this van as a trade-in, and it’s not done much since - it’s designed to live outdoors and it has done for a while, so rims and spokes have some corrosion - nothing structural, just cosmetic. Everything works electrically, though the lead-acid batteries that are fitted have died - I’ve got a brand new 12V high-capacity battery for it, which I have not fitted yet. It comes with a charger.

The van body is on top of a wooden platform with a steel frame - it’s rated to carry 250kg and it’s got a volume of 1.4 cubic metres - it can carry more than my car! The door at the back is a roller door (lockable) and there’s also a mesh outer door which can be removed - this one was modified to carry dogs. Leg length is very adjustable with two quick releases.

New, this cost over £6000 - from the current AVD pricelist, you’d be looking at about £8500 for a van of this specification. I’d accept offers around the £2000 mark. It can be collected from Glasgow (it’s not at the shop, so viewing by appointment) or I can arrange delivery at cost.

Ostrad SWB: Another rarity from my attic, the Ostrad was made in Berlin about 14 years ago. It’s got full suspension with a couple of inches travel front and rear, and a steel frame. The gearing is interesting - it’s got a double chain arrangement with an intermediate gear and two rear derailleurs to give 35 gears in a very wide range. The derailleurs and shifters are decent Sachs ones, and it’s got V-brakes. It’s good for anyone from about 5’6” to 6’2”. It’s in generally very good condition - it feels quite a bit like a Grasshopper to ride. I’d accept offers around £600. Add to your basket
