Pardon the pun, but criminal! How can a fire be a total loss? We've had 2 and still have the vans, though one was officially written off and we rebuilt it. Bet it was the alternator.

fred the police inspected this van for the owner and thay said the fire was so bad that it had twisted all the main body. so the van had to be scraped as it was not safe to go backon the road

Whoa! I was imagining some underbonnet affair How did it get so bad?

wow what a shame,pitty he's not a forum member it would have been good to have seen the inside(before the fire!)

[bortaf]

probably all the soundproofing in the back caught, helped by dodgy police mechanic wiring
Seen a couple of ambulances go that way and bought em cheep at auction

Last night I actually spoke to a mate of the van's owner, I came into contact with him after getting his number from Classic Cops because I am looking for a classic cop car. He told me that the fire was due to dodgy wiring the owner did, how guilty must he feel? It cought really quick, and they had to just bail out and watch it burn. Even the roof was buckled. Nightmare.............

[mk2panelvan]

so what did you say he plans were for this new van he has?

[FredTransit]

He now has a Mk3 riot van, will be attending the backbone cruise and is already on the list.
