It would probably me more suitable there in hindsight, apart from being mostly fibreglass so the scrap men probably aren't all that interested.

Sooner or later, right?

I drove a VW van in the 70s for work my dad had 2 from new a P reg and M reg , even then they were awful to drive why anyone would put themselves through the torture of driving one on a 500 mile round trip and sleeping in it fuck knows

 

What they cost today buys a nice car and a lot of hotels

 

I've only ever towed a caravan once ,in 1982, being told by my then girlfriend I wasn't getting any because people will see it moving about put me off for life , some holiday that was , rain, no sex and having to tow it all the way there and back

It's strange that I'm putting something that's at 99p in the "Bargains" section, but you can 100% guarantee that this has got a massive stupid reserve on it:

It's a fucking minibus.

 

And a glass fibre chassis too?

 

Yes, I've just sold one for £6500. This is a fucked minibus though, It's not a campervan. It's like saying "Those in the trade know what 1000KG of solid gold is worth" when you're selling a biffa bin full of soiled underpants on UK gumtree, collection only, from behind an Old folks home in Bulgaria.

 

I won't hold my breath.

 

 

If this was already in my own bloody garden I wouldn't value it at the 99p starting bid. Who the fuck is going to try and get that out of that field and back from spain (£1k?), then (presuming it doesn't snap in half as soon as you pull on the tow rope) spend £5k+ "restoring" it for it to be worth about £1250.

One has to wonder why a RHD camper/minibus/pile of wank on uk plates is in a field over in Spain in the first place.

 

To me, it looks like it's careered off the road into a ditch and that's where it's been for the past 11 years.

Why people selling junk like this specify serious bidders only is well and truly beyond my feeble mind. You would have to be off your face or having a laugh to consider bidding, never mind actually going out to Spain to look at the miserable thing..

But think of the road trip

 

And scenery

 

While you live in it for a bit

 

Before you burn it on the insurance and fly home

A decent Mark 1 Transit is a far, far superior vehicle. A properly built 2000 Essex V4 is also much better than that wheezing air cooled shit Dubs were saddled with.

For ten times the price of the best 1949 Cadillac Club Coupe in the world, you could be the proud owner of this sorry Germanic heap.

 

£350'000.

 

That's right.

 

There's a very good reason BMW went bust in the late fifties and it was because they were turning out cars like this.

 

£35'000? Okay, it has a certain charm. £350'000? Fuck Right Off.

Sold for £25'000 at the NEC last weekend: Exactly.

Lets assume a CLEAR profit (after paying yourself minimum wage and for the materials and insurance and gas of £1 per burger and 6 hours a day over say 200 days a year

 

And lets say 1 burger every 4 mins ?

 

I make that 2 years.

 

Plus unlike normal equipment it's not likely to depreciate.

 

Really as a business proposition, you have to ask what the interest payments on the £36K would be.

 

In fact you can get specialist leasing finance for shit like that.

 

Business loan 8% ? =2880 or 2.5 burgers an hour.

Re-mortgage your house 3% = £1080 a year or 1 burger an hour.

Some splendid ‘Doctoresque’ bollocks on that Mitsubishi ad:

 

“It has only ventured out from its heated garage when its owner needed conveying to the various sites of the National Heritage Trust which he would visit”

 

There you go guys – only ever driven to and from National Trust sites - FACT. If our man ever wanted to go shopping, drifting, trainspotting, lookin 4 fly honeyz who wanna cruise etc he used some other vehicle presumably.

 

It is a beautiful thing though.
