I also wish the 'net was about when I started with Transits in 1972...

My first was a j reg ex Godfrey Davis hire van..

I worked for GEC in those days, they only had Bedfords which

I loathed, that's why I always smile when people go on about

the Mk1 that Ford own.........

Good luck intransit 89........

I wouldn't take on your van for all the tea in China but........

I ain't as young as you....
