Hello,
I am an owner of an Otis electric van in Australia. I believe it was 1 of 2 imported for government testing. Mine was used by one of the councils in Sydney. I am restoring it as it is in rough shape, but it still has its original charger. Depending on how desperate you are to have one, there is one for sale in Arizona. Here is the link: 1975 Otis Electric Van - Robinson Golf Cars. I have spoke with them at the end of last year and it was still available. I was asking them if they had any manuals for it but they said they didn’t. As far as I know it is operational. If you need more info on the history of them, just say as I have done a lot of research into them with the limited info there is on them. There were only 40 made and not all of them sold before Otis’s electric vehicle division closed in late 1975. Also was the one you reference in your post for sale in the UK, as I wasn’t aware of any other there? Did it have any manuals with it as I am on the hunt for some for mine?
It’s cool to see someone else interested in these vans. There are very few left. Here are some pics of mine when it was new and now.
