MK1 & MK2 Transits needed

[BaileyMex]

Hi there,

I was wondering if there are any of you in the West Sussex area that might be interested in displaying your MK1 ‘preferably’ or MK2 Transit at the launch of the NEW model Transit at the Ford Dealership I work at (Lifestyle Ford) in Horsham West Sussex??

If you would be interested please can you let me know as soon as possible as I’m trying to organise a fun day launch, I will have a Thames van and some Escort MK1/2 vans already there, but without a MK1 Transit there would be no point.

So if you have a standard looking MK1 in excellent condition and fancy having it in a Main Dealer showroom for a day, please can you contact me?

Regards

Even the Mk2 mirrors are mint, eh Geoff

[transitgeoff]

whats that Fred is that a touch of- no no cant be

[FredTransit]

If you mean jealosy Geoff, no. I must have mentioned it before, I think the Mk2 mirrors shouldn't be on a mint Mk1, I know why you did it, but it does detract from the work you have done.

Fred i was on the A13 Saturday heading to Southend to collect a small ebay purchase found myself in the outside lane flooring it,showing 9o mph on my newly calibrated speedo, mk1 mirrors wouldnt allow for that, anyway thats beside the point,these Main dealers that appear fishing for free advertising,what do we get from it remember the last one when a few people went to Brighton i think £250 is very cheep, i spend £270 A WEEK in autotrader for a tossy little add, my mk1 attracts attention as i know to well,every time i stop for fuel i end up talking to people for half an hour, anyway if they want it thats the rate irrespective of the mirrors being on the door instead of the wing, why the bitchiness

seems a very fair price to me especially as these dealers make £1000's in a week

[transitgeoff]

how about £3000 to £4000 in a van

[transitgeoff]

oh and forgot to say £250 plus vat, supplied with vat invoice,phone on number below or pm if required.

Not bitchy, Geoff, my opinion, which I am entitled to. It's no longer an original Mk1 if it has later exterior trim/parts on it. I couldn't get you even £250 a day, despite your doing an amazing amount of work on your van, as it isn't visually original. That's fact BTW, not being bitchy.

Bothered about the Mk2 mirrors, but the 2000 engine is okay!

Yes, unless you are actually looking under the bonnet, or are fanatics like us that could tell the difference from the sound, the late engine isn't a big thing. Remember it's fanatics like us that would write in and say that the van had mirrors on it from 20 years after it was built.

i think as geoff says for high speed motorway work the mk1 mirrors would just blow in mine wont be going over 65 mph as it starts to get humpy
unfortunatly its only a matter of time before i reverse inot the rocks on the garden as i cant see jack ***t out of mine and beeing a lwb with the wheel arches thats anothering to worry about!

Maybe you would write in Fred but myself i would admire the fine van that was saved from the iron yard and not be so petty maybe offer him some of your gems for cheeper money and you could do a reconstruction of a early 1990"s pikey camp in his car park
