Renault Estafette Vintage Coffee Van

Description

Rare Left-Hand-Drive Renault Estafette Coffee Van – Fully Equipped & Ready to Trade

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a classic right-hand-drive Renault Estafette (Relay) Coffee Van that is fully converted, beautifully presented, and ready to operate. A real head-turner with strong commercial appeal, this vintage van combines character with a professional, high-spec coffee setup.

Imported from France in 2017, the van has benefitted from extensive investment and refurbishment. Nearly £20,000 was spent on a full refurbishment in 2017 (by Beerhawk), followed by a further £3,000 in upgrades in 2022 (all invoices available). The result is a reliable, well-maintained vehicle that has been thoughtfully designed for efficient trading.
The interior has been completely refitted to a high standard, featuring quality worktops, hardwood finishes, leather seating, and LED lighting throughout. The layout has been carefully planned to maximise space, workflow, and visual appeal.

The van comes equipped with everything needed to start trading straight away, including:
• Dual-fuel Fracino coffee machine (pump, battery, inverter and knock tube included), in excellent condition – purchased in 2022 for £4,970
• Mazzer Super Jolly Electronic Grinder in excellent condition (£516)
• FLOjet water pump system
• Double sink with electric water pump
• Two fully functional double fridges
It currently runs on a 16-amp electrical supply, with the option to include a GreenGas propane generator in very good condition for an additional cost. All electrics have been PAT tested annually. Branded paper cups can also be included by separate negotiation.
As a 1975 vehicle, the van is tax and MOT exempt, keeping running costs low. It was serviced a couple of years ago and is in good working order and drives well. In colder weather it may occasionally need a jump start, easily managed with a portable starter. For longer journeys, trailering is recommended – however attention by a good mechanic could make it run smoothly. Some spare parts are included in the sale.
Cosmetically, there are a few minor age-related imperfections, mainly around the windows (sealant and some rust), but overall the van is in great condition for its age. It has always been garage-stored when not in use. It is currently SORN as hasn’t been used in the last few months.
The van is fully converted and well equipped, offering a ready-to-trade setup for a new owner, ideal for markets, private events, festivals, weddings, or brand activations. We absolutely loved working in the van, and have received so many compliments on the van, but unfortunately have to sell the business with a heavy heart due to health reasons.
