Your wright crazy prices i like transits but not that much.One of my friends bought a one owner 1970 swb pickup for £3000 then put it into a restoration shop and told them to restore it. It was already very very tidy.I would have been quite happy to enter it in shows as it was, it had only done 11000 mls.
