Hello from a fire MKII owner of Holland

Postby Z-point » Mon Feb 05, 2007 9:00 pm

Hello all,

Well I got my Ford at home!!! Last Saturday we went out to Mainz to pick her up, or is it him? I think it is a she because of the female lines of the Van it self.
Did not trust the car enough for a travel of 400km back to Holland, So we took the trailer with us. She is a solid car or how you say that. Although she had some parking damage in the last couple of years. But that came back in the price, 1300 euro. (£860). The entrance of the village ‘fire station’ was a bit small.
Allmost forgot to tell what kind of Transit it is. An MKII from 1980, 2ltr engine.

Then you know how it works over there.. You have to bid in the ‘blind’; obviously, I went out to Mainz to have a look at the car for the first time. Only cars directly from the fire station can have this wide spread ‘they are immaculate’ :shock: story.
As I said I paid £860 for it, not to much I think. :oops:

He told me there was one Englishman who had also inquired. Trouble is you guys have the distance and ferry against you…..but if you wanted so badly you take it what ever it cost!!! :D

Yeb, they know there is a little hype going on for old transits. I have the same experience. Asked for more and detailed photos. Didn’t get them but still went out for looking. It was a piece of crap. It had two ‘new’ front wings and already they had a rust problem. But you will have to see one too judge another :(
