Are you looking for a later one or an earlier one/classic?

[bob cratchit]

Bloody hell, too much choice!!.

Ideally a mark 2 with a humpin great v8 in it , but failing that, a modern type lwb that i can 'adapt' and tweak colour not important as long as its white 2.5td if poss...... just really want to get hold of a tranny as soon as poss.

I've got one of those but you can't have it! What area are you in? There is a Mk2 LWB on here in the ebay section, it is looking a bit suspect though from what people are saying on here.

Fred can point you in the right direction as to what to look out for on MK1/2s

Why is the first one not getting as many bids as the second one then? I payed 1k for my 98s and it needs atention to the rear brakes and a tidy up body wise therefore I thought that was a cracking deal.

[bob cratchit]

Cheers Fred, when can i trade you for it then??.......

Like the look of that first ebay one......

[AndyG]

Could be that it's older, wrong place, or some people are afraid of the Lucas Epic

In two words, build quality. Not to mention how much parts such as DMFs cost.

From what I can tell, those newer ones have very expensive spares
