Hi,
I'm looking to sell my late Grandfathers 1973 Ford Transit Custom SWB camper conversion. He passed away back in Feb this year and my Grandmother has asked if I can help find it a new home.
He brought this brand new [ although might have been pre registered ] from one of the Ford Main Dealers in Birmingham, originally as a van. Then at about 5 years old he had it converted by a company called Motorhomes International, which I've been unable to find any information on. It was his only vehicle for many years and our family has had lots of happy memories, from various family holidays/ adventures.
I think that some time in the late 80's it came off the road for repairs, which sadly he never got round too. So it has sat for around 30+ years. It's pretty much complete but is safe to say, now a major project or at least a good source of spares.
The engine is pretty much complete but have been unable at present, to establish if it will turn over or if it's seized. Interior is still in reasonable/ good condition overall and complete. The vehicle has covered 59,000 miles from new.
My Grandmother is 88 and lives with my Disabled Uncle in a rural location, so I'm looking for a hassle free sale. Not really wanting to go down the ebay route etc and have random people turning up or lowlife timewasters.
So if anyone can help guide us on where best to sell, or know anybody who would be interested in taking on this on. Or can help give a rough idea on it's value. It would be greatly appreciated.
