Tracing my old Bedford Lithium Solarvan G526HKW.
Ideas and help wanted please.

I would quite like to be reunited for old times sake with my old solar electric van but sold it years ago to someone in London. 😢

I have spoken to him and he said it was parked for ages/years in the old market traders car park off Canterbury crescent in Brixton.
He passed it onto them in lieu of outstanding parking fees. Someone got a new V5 for it in 2016. It's been SORN for years.

I know that area is now being redeveloped, has been cleared, and it's probably gone to the scrap yard but..
Perhaps someone who lives nearby could have a walk around and call on any likely address to do some enquiries?

Happy to pay a modest fee for your time.
Internet sleuths fill your boots!

Basically i need some contact details for the previous owners of that market traders area.
Do they remember the van? What happened to it?

It was bright yellow with solar panels on top so should stick out like a sore thumb.
Anyone ever seen it around down there?

Probably not useful but mot wasn't renewed in 2011. And scrappage scheme was 2010 i think? So likelihood that it went to the great crusher in the sky...

Although odd that someone got a v5 for it later on. How do you know that?
