paid 650 for it. its not mint - nearside rear arch needs doing but thats it, not a speck of rust anywhere else - but it does have a full service log and every mot, proper tinted rear windows (not film), drivers seat isnt marked, its done 49,000 in the first six years, then 15,000 in the last eight!! old boy owned it for the last eight and used it for picking up lawnmowers from the big posh houses around chesham and amersham and taking them home to repair them! not a creak, whistle or rattle anywhere!

14 years old, rides and drives like a new van! :shock: :shock:


the old sieve, my current 2.0EFi petrol has tax and ticket till july......so i will be running that into the ground while i tidy up the new one, and pimp it a bit :lol:

after that the old one will be for sale, being a petrol its got the fuel pump in the tank and the 4.1 diff so its ideal for robbing for those bits if you're doing a cossie/ 24v/ v8 conversion.

anyone interested let me know now and you'll get first shout, as i can probably sell it with a month T&T left on it, so you can drive it home!

you need one of these diffs......even with a smoky old pinto with a tappy cam you can do this all day long :mrgreen:

got it home........

not bad for £650....dosent feel quite as quick as the old one did when i got it, but its really quiet, you can hardly hear the motor! think its been pussied around for all of its 66,000 miles, a service and a good thrash should sort it out! :lol:


going to ditch the nasty wheel trims and the nudge bars at the front, park it up for a couple of months while i sort a little bit of rust and fit the leccy windows and locks that i bought for the old van......

which will be sold around may / june time. side windows will be coming out and going in the new van, as will the front spots. its not much good other than for parts (4.1 axle, EFi fuel tank etc) now, rust has gone too fur, anless you're feeling brave and patient!
