Semi-C Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Howay all, It has been decided that I am to part with my dear sweet Transit following the purchase of a ______ ________[correction fret coming soon] I have put it on Cuntree sorry, Gumtree and am braced for more of the same sort of character that rang me earlier....Hadn't thought of mentioning it on here because it is what it is etc but then, it may do someone a turn/be good for bits when the test runs out/"Ideal Project"/there is another hopeless Van Fan amongst us or summink else. What to say about it??Well...it's an ex B.T steed in their finest hue of Grey,Has just turned 100k miles (if the MOT history is to be believed),M.O.T. expires 18/04/2015,Shell in surprisingly fair condition* DISCLAIMER: For an unrestored 1994 Ford TransitIt has a manual steering rack and a CD player that sometimes works.Heater is hot, windscreen wipers wipe, lights light, doors lock, seats are comfy, good on fuel, has a rustic pineapple shelf upon it's top...don't really know what else to say about it. I do have a spare balljoint that can be had if you so desire, maybe some other bits too *May need welding on the N/S/R sill end as was an advisory on last years test. (DISCLAIMER: May need other welding/fixing work also) Got it up on Scumtree for £400 but that is the "Before Shiters Discount" price.Current shiters discount rate is 12.5% Here is a picture, Fanx four yaw thyme.

Semi-C Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Upon application of a few buckets of finest DERV would A, the mota burbble like a burbling thingB. a failure to proceed occur ? A: Much burbling would be the result of a DERV imbibing. Can these ( its a 94 so would qualify on age for a few policies) be put on a classic policy? How long before OSF tax hits these I wonder I've had mine on a private van policy, most affordable Two important questions: DO YOU WANT A PART-EX M8? Is it the utterly brilliant 2.5Di? Edit: Yes, it is a diesel, 2496cc. On the part ex front, I probably shouldn't as I have procured a fresh slice of filth which must be collectioned this Saturday.Forgetting all I have written above, What have you got on the part ex front? Do my eyes deceive me or does the reg end in MOB? If so, rather apt Sure does gangstarr! We be thugging....or somesuch Where's this located ? Bury St Edmunds is where it is. (and where it's at....)

Semi-C Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Mixed emotion fest! A gumtree enquirer has provisionally buyed this.He is from Oxfordshire but has arranged for a non virtual, mutual friend of ours (small world indeed) to supply me with the relevant monies this week and relieve me of my Transit. Chuffed: Because I got the full asking....(provisionally!) Wounded: Because he's a breaker and will be dismantling rather than revelling in it's splendour.

Timewaster Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I got pissed about royally trying to sell my transit to a well known breaker.

Semi-C Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Sorry to say my Transit was hoovered up by a breaker.

Timewaster Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 ^^^Are you sure your local tip lets vans on site? Some do, some don't.Our local one are okay with anything smaller than a LWB Transit with no sign writing. Thank you for assuming I was going there and not fly tipping!

Cavcraft Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I think the mechanics of them export. Everytime my local breakers get on the engine, box and axle are taken straight out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
