Not too bothered about the age but MUST be in good[ish] condition and have at least 7+ months mot.
Size not important as it'll only be carrying my motorbikes.

Anything considered.
Will travel upto 100 miles from newcastle upon tyne for the right van.

Thanks
Dave

Thank's for the reply.
I just managed to buy one about an hour ago

was just coming back on to delete this thread .

Got this one for £650

6 months tax and test,90k miles,and generally in good condition.Not as loud as i was expecting either but still loud :lol:

.
Should do to take the bike places anyway and i have money left over to waste on loads of extras for it

Cheers.

Looks good for that money

Semi high top is better for getting bikes in anyway :wink:

all the others i was watching on ebay were going for around £900 so when i spotted this on gumtree i had to have it.(had only been listed for 5 hours).

The only thing i can fault it on is that the seat are completely buggered! hardly any foam left on the sides

but shouldn't cost too much for some new seats.It's a shame because this drivers seat has an arm rest on both sides of it

(i thought that was a nice touch)

Can't wait until tomorrow to try it out properly

My Minibus has that same seat so I know what you mean

You may be able to swap the cushions if you get another decent seat, so you can keep the arm rests

Good thinking...Will have a closer look at how it comes apart tomorrow
