The cart is manufactured by the VanSan Corporation. It’s their Caffe Venditore, model VS-600. VanSan carts are known for their tank-like construction (2” tubular steel frame with marine grade plywood), exceptional durability and keen attention to detail.

The exterior wood is a semi-gloss, honey oak. The counter top is Wilsonart Formica® - mocha glace color. The awning is Sunbrela Firesist® - salmon color. All exterior oak is triple coated with polyurethane. All interior compartments are caulk sealed. The four posts are polished brass.

This cart was purchased in October, 1995. It was used in an indoor, climate-controlled environment until October, 1999. It has remained garaged since then. When in use, the water pumps were used for approximately one month. After that time, water was connected directly to an espresso machine. The sink and hot water heater were never used. As a result, the hot water heater will probably need to be replaced if you plan to put it into operation. The current approximate cost to replace this unit is $175.

This cart has been well maintained and is still in great shape. There are some minor oxidation spots on a couple of the posts. However, you need to be located very close to the cart to notice them. It was purchased brand new for $11,000. I’m asking $4,500 or BO. I live in Bucks County, PA, approximately 50 minutes north of Philadelphia. Buyer is responsible for transport and all related costs. Terms of payment are cash, certified/bank check, or wire transfer. If interested, please e-mail me at rgscotti@yahoo.com for more detail and photos and/or with any questions that you may have.
