Saw this today at Martyn's place, wow really not much to get it on the road. The stance is so "just right".

The steering box needs to go, does anyone know how and what to use to fit a steering rack?

hello my name is steve and I originally built transit pvf747w but as you know my health was not what it could be. anyway I am still alive and kicking and recently came on line and found this site. if you still have the van and would like to talk about it please email me on stephenmantripp18@gmail.com the steering was tied together to enable us to move the van in the work shop it would have been fitted with rack & pinion [but events changed that] anyway if i can help with information about the van i would be happy to do so

For sale again - I'm still doing nothing on it & storage has cost me 1800 quid a year for too long now :lol:

It deserves to be finished so offers welcome !:) I paid 2 grand for it as a guide & thought it was an absolute bargain. That amount or something around it would buy it.

PS , had a great chat with Stephen , the original builder of it & loads of helpful info on its parts & the engine turns out to have been built by Rover V8 supremo's RPI Engineering, & if i recall correctly, it has a Camaro front clip, XJS Rear suspension, Range Rover Box,
