BorniteIdentity Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I too am getting romantic notions about these miserable pieces of shit. You could definitely get some TV work out of that. Just the glimpse of a Sherpa van in the corner of your 16:9 and you just know a sex offender with an electronic tag around his ankle is about to drag a corpse out of the hatchback and into a dyke. You're a bell end for buying it. Well bloody done. x cort1977, chodweaver, oldcars and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise2cv Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Has it only got 2 seats? I thought all vans had 3 (driver single and passenger bench) from perhaps the late 80s or something? Making it more versatile as a works van? Yoss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort1977 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Bloody hell Boll, you're on fire at the moment, first the mazda and now this. How do you get the docs for it, presumably there is DVLA process and form to fill in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Breadvan72 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 So, Boll, is the plan to live in this van and roam from place to place fighting crime and righting wrongs, before vanishing as mysteriously as you arrived? chaseracer, Craig the Princess, rml2345 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewaster Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 What a fantastic buy! I do hope it hasn't been registered scrap, given where it came from? I'm sure MrBol would have got that sussed already. Incidently , those marbles you found obviously belong to whoever binned it in the yard, as they have clearly lost theirs!

Making it more versatile as a works van?That's the first thing I noticed. It's a two seater sports van! The double passenger seat on the 200/Pilot was always rather snug so it makes sense if you're not planning on carrying two passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hey I never thought of that about it having a 'scrap' marker on it, I hope it hasn't! Presumably though if it had, the scrap yard wouldn't have kept it hangnig around for 2 years cluttering the place up. I guess I will find out when I send off for the V5!

BorniteIdentity Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Just done a cheeky HPI at work; only 2 owners, the first until 2013!! I do hope it hasn't been registered scrap, given where it came from? I reckon that would have been the first thing to flash up in front of AlexG's eyes if the van was dead. Should just be a case of sending off for a new V5 via V62, and then they notify their registered keeper that someone's applied for a new log book. If the Doovla don't hear back from their registered keeper then they issue a new one to Boll. cort1977 and trigger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I propose a race in which Bo11ox and Lankytim see who can deliver the most parcels before either falling through their floor and becoming tangled in their propshaft or having their LDV Security System short out and immobilise the engine while blocking a busy thoroughfare. Loser has to pay the winner £250 for sick cover. BorniteIdentity, Alexg, somewhatfoolish and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Tidybeard Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Something you configured at purchase. No middle seat often made it easier to jump straight into the back. and a single passenger seat is usually a proper seat with an amount of comfort whereas a dual has will turn you cripple before lunch time CreepingJesus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
