Zelandeth Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thks popped up recently found the back of an industrial unit by us. Hasn't seen the road since 2016 according to the MOT history, but it looks reasonably tidy and looks to have changed hands in December...so hopefully it has a future. Slightly curious as to what it is... immediate reaction would be library van, but most of those I've personally seen were built on a 7.5 tonne chassis, which this isn't. It's done time as a mobile church during its life...just curious what it was originally built as. Ford chassis under there if the recorded vehicle details on the DVLA are to be believed. Have to wonder if it's just a Cargo with a body plonked on it or if it's a dedicated bus type chassis.

(keep in mind this is a 3rd party tool so this part might be a bit wonky!) and here's the keeper details, 0 colour changes it says, but in the MOT checker it comes back as orange! (but otherwise I find the keeper count is always pretty accurate)  curiously its body type is "specially fitted van" I have not seen that body type before now!

Zelandeth Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hmm, showing last V5 issued in Dec 2019, hence my thinking it had changed hands then. Maybe that's when they started to bring it out of hibernation. It used to be orange when it was in use as a mobile church, punching the reg into Google will bring up several photos. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightBulbFun Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Yeah, perhaps they just lost the last V5 or had some details on it updated etc  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Galue is rather attractive compared to that X1.

spartacus Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 @Zelandeth, I think that bus thing that you've found was the subject of a thread on the blue, it was going really cheap or free, something like that. Or maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTO 50Y is quite well-known, and I think has featured in at least one magazine in the past. The years have clearly not been kind to it. Was the Alpina E24 on an E-prefix plate and badged as a B10 3.5? If so, I think I might know which one it is...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
