"new" 1977 transit

[kof]

Hello from Norway

I was visiting an old garagje , and there I found a 1977 model ford transit.
The car has been in heated garagje for many years!
Now it only remains to pick up the car and sign the papers.

I don't have so much information.

I know its from 1977, and its a 2.4l diesel. The weight is 3350 kg ( )

Only place I could find parts for the car is Ebay. Dou you know any other place?

Try "motomobil gmbh"

Thanks mate! They have everything
The car looks surprisingly good. I could only see a little rust around the rear bumper.
there is no rust otherwise on the car as I can see, but I 'm excited to look under it.
Got the car for free, and I have only looked at it for 5min, so I don't know the condition so well

Ooh very nice

Thanks

More photos

it is common to have doors on both sides of the car?
A lot of the cars i have seen only got one door.

That's a great find an even better deal, good luck with your plans.

Looks mega , love the colour to.

Twin side loading doors aren't common on the later vans, no idea about that era.

Love to see more pics as and when.

That's true

Thinking of getting new paint on it, and it wil be the same color.

More pics will come as soon as I get the car home.

I'm just woundering, how can a car that is 3.3tons only have 66bhp? Haha
And how can it be 3350kg? Its a van! Its nothing in the back.. Is the car bulletproof?

It's fairly common to have twin side loading doors if it's an SVO build. All the Firevans had them.

Isn't 3350 it's gross weight. Ie max carrying? My mk2 is 3200kg's as it's a Transit 130.

[knighty1981]

yes 3350kg is fully loaded

empty it should be around about 2000kg - tho I'm sure someone here will know the exact weight

[kof]

I see.
This is what it says ( below In norwegian)

It says that the car it self is 3350, and I can only load 75kg in the back
I agree tho, it has to be 3350 with all the stuff in the back

Ok so now I got the car.

It's been in the heatet garagje for 22 year.
After 20 sec it startet it runs perfect! Only problems is the brakes does not work so I have to fix that.
The car is "New" under, and it is absolutly no rust.

The best part is: the car only got 10.500km / 6500 miles!
Im so happy now. Will post pic when I get home
