Ford Transit Forum

After the sarga of trying to buy a new transit......

Heres my new addition.
20,000 miles, 55 plates, 350, 137 psi, 6 speed.

Not in perfect condition, a few little scuffs here and there, but I`ve come to the conclussion a 2nd hand motor is rarley mint condition. Its alot better than some I veiwed.

The power is SOOOOO different to my Mk3 jumbo turbo. Alot more comfortable, like driving a car not a van. Over took ( correction- burnt off) a few Sprinters on the way home, 80mph @ 3000rpm..

I`ve only driven it back from leeds, as I`ve got a few things to sort out, remove the rear seats, replace a few ply pannels, make a false floor for the market stall etc etc.

But overall, I`m like a dog with 2 d1cks.

When I went looking for my van last year there were more Jumbo's that anything else on offer at the time. I have to say that I would have bought one but for the fact that we would have been living in perpetual darkness when it was parked up outside the house.

Fantastic value for money and perfect for trading.
Good luck with it.
Cheers
