That was over £1000 ages ago though.

£1000 to much for me i know where theres a good ish mk1 for that sort of cash theres a 1.6 mk2 buy it now £350 and looks in better nick

why not get the mk2 for £350 and swap the engine?

you restore motors and you say the blue one is in better nick

im only 20 this month so as soon as a mod a car my insurance goes sky high

i would like to get it drive it for a bit then fit a 2.5 td out of a later 1 but till then i was hoping for a 2.0 pinto as that will pull a car trailer ok

i might still get the 1.6 1 off ebay im still unsure as it wont do all the jobs i want it to do

if you fit a 2.0 then dont tell them its modded - how would you know if the yellow one wasnt origanally a 1.6

already sold it once

gotta be worth £350 unless its stuffed full of filler

wonder why the first winner backed out - looking at his feedback he allready won something off the guy selling the van- dodgy deelings i suspect

yes i was watching before aswell lol

i wouldn't risk it as its not worth it really

i just got a qoute on it at £240 a year whats well cheap for me ill keep think about this 1 its not to far from me ether thats good i do like the minibus thats on aswell but its in london with no test on thats only at £240 at the mo

you mean this one

yep it looks near mint but its to far to go really if it could fit on the car trailer i would get it but i don't think it will some how lol

i would go for the long wheelbase blue one mate ,i met the guy once and he had spent alot of money on it!

Where in the country are you? The LWB van is worth a go, it belongs to a member of the Forum, but he hasn't posted in ages.
