actually l think thats a lot of van for the current £100 bid, but that will probably go up in the 3 days left. Most of the work needed isnt transit related. Its basic DIY to get it dry in the back. Where are you?

.........cos we all know an MOT is a 100% guarantee oe it being worth good money. Right now l have 2 campers in our yard, both bought with long MOTs for good money. One was reputed to have had a grand spent on welding for the test (which cant be found) and the other has the most outrageous visible filler (like no seams at the wing to A pillar) and yet cost over 3 grand. As a (good) starting point niether are worth more than 500 quid.

mot is not worth the paper its printed on :!: but what it does is get it taxed and on the road right away with just the cost of the disc and then you ve 12 months to sort it out, no tax or test is scrap value or spares 3 to 500 quid,,buying cheap is buying work
