looking at it you could make it an ordinary van in about 2 hours

But I don't think the hot car magazine then did a step by step feature on it, as Mark mentioned before! It should've been seriously modified then!

got a big pile of hot car mags in the attic i will look for it

[edy]

i no you say that the van is not around but the DVLA seam to think it is;

presuming i have the details right

[MrMPuk]

Yeah all of that means it's not about.

[FredTransit]

Well if it can be found on the DVLA site, it's not been offcially scrapped, but as it also hasn't had tax since 1992, it's 50/50 whether or not it's still in exsistance.

[edy]

i would have thought that DVLA would take it of if it was scrapped

[MrMPuk]

i would have thought that DVLA would take it of if it was scrapped

Only if some has sent the paperwork off to say it was scrapped! And back in 92 there wern't that hot on things like that!

[FredTransit]

I did say officailly scrapped, as in some official V5 carrying owner returning the paperwork to them stating it was scrapped.

[edy]

true they may not of botherd

[MrMPuk]

I've scrapped plenty of motors that are still on there.

[FredTransit]

And at the same time we own a van that was 'officially' (paperwork sent off as such) scrapped.

[edy]

true but it would be nice to think it is still around

[FredTransit]

Yes it would, it's 50/50 if it is.

[madmark]

on that year its very unlikely!

[Neil]

only a 1.6 what a poor effort
