How many Mk1s and Mk2s left? (Chat)

[FredTransit]

Mate where have you been? Mark is out and about at shows with his, and I am working with 2 1969 SWBs this week. Both on the road, looking nice and street legal. Ours would be out there insted of sat on the yard if it wasn't for the rear shock failing the MOT. Ours left the factory as a van, was converted to a camper, and then reverted back to a van though! They are out there, you just have to look.

I'm always looking! I don't see any Mk2s let alone Mk1s!

Maybe it works more or less in the same way as watching milk boil.

Stop looking and maybe you WILL see them.

Would it be a good idea to split up the Mk1s and Mk2s? Up to over 80 now (or is that 90, as our lutons are put in on one line?) and one post isn't going to fit on the page soon!

[Luke]

well we're at 100 mk1 and 2's

[FredTransit]

Would it be a good idea to delete all other posts but the last one, so the thread doesn't go on for pages repeating itself, like the ebay name in the ebay section?

i got to admit im surprised how many are still about,,,
living in evesham where there are a lot of orchards and stuff I regularly see a couple of mk2 4x4 pickups in daily use
theres also a chap in a local village (not put location out of respect) who has a lwb 4x4 mk2 on his driveway

[FredTransit]

Off the top of my head, I can think of two Mk2s and a Mk1, Mk2s are a LWB phase1 pick up and a LWB phase2 van, Mk1 is a minibus. All in west London.

as far as i know ive got the only mk1 in my area.sad to say that in the last 10 or so years early transits seem to have gone away

[rottie_007]

saw a mk1 with the pig nose today that looked like it was on steroids with big tyres and would have sworn it had a front diff
