I take it your not going to carry any weight then :?:

And the early ones tended to really sag at the back with a feather in them 'till Fords had a mod for customers that were "concerned" :oops:

:lol: I started driving a mk2 1600 then 8 years later changed it for a mk3 2.5ltr but now think its time I perchased a newer van after 9 years owning my current steed(its time for change)
At the present I work for a Euronics dealer in Norwich and when my boss gave me a wad of notes to buy a van for the shop I found a 100 T260 with 40000 on the clock.and now I want one for myself too
might have to skint myself but it only money .

yes I would consider an 85ps model if I could find one.

it would be more frugal with fuel as the us gallon is smaller this would be better but I only have about £4000.00 to buy the van with and thats just the start of the problems

Wouldn't worry about the size of their gallon :D You'll probably fill up with about $20 :shock:

Aircon :?: well if you'd like the system to be brand new try:

because its for charity new is out of the question at that price.
there gallon is 3.78ltrs and when you got to do 20000 miles it all adds up to $1000 for the whole trip
