Ultimate Van shite

[FredTransit]

Was out in this today, first time since getting it back form a little stint in Law and Order UK, they did the stunning paint job, it's worse close up.....

 

 

 

It's also blessed with an amazing full 1.6 L of pinto, so you can imagine the acceleration.

 

What did amaze me though was how well it was received. A bloke in a Mk6 pick up asked to buy it, said he loved the colour, I said which one? And a little girl ran down the pavement along side me to tell me she loved my van. Bless, she was only about 6 though so I am hoping for her sake she will develop some taste before too long.

[pogweasel]

LOL that's awesome. "Love thy Neighbours" indeed, because they sure as hell won't love you if you parked that outside your typical barratt box.

[FredTransit]

Well I am sharing out the hippy transit love, and moving it about so they all get a good view. Piss me off and you get to keep it for a week. The other amazing thing is the graffiti hasn't been added to, maybe the little scrotes don't think it can get any worse!

[FredTransit]

In case anybody is wondering if it looks a bit down at the back, it was loaded at the time! 4 tables, 8 stacking ally chairs, 12 bar stools and a load of flat packed metal shelving! The two best lutons are out of the country at the moment, and a couple are off the the road, another was already loaded so.... I took the hippy bus formally known as Connie the Conservatory to work! Lucky it was an old long established customer, and they saw the funny side. Also a fan of Law and order UK so they will be looking out for the van!

OMG! I LOVE parcel vans and LOVE home-brew, hippy-style paint jobs. Even my wife is impressed. 1.6 though?!

[Guest]

Haha, thats splendid. I wonder which UK local authority Special Educational Needs Dept. that one started out with?

[FredTransit]

Well, the log book says 2.0L, but it defo is a 1.6, trust me , despite that, she tool the load well and I did manage to get out of 2nd gear . Eventually.

Dollywobbler well done for calling it a parcel van, and not a Dormobile. Though this one did start life as a bus, and two little engraved placs are still riveted to the pillars, saying they were donated by somebody or other.

 

I do know of somebody selling a parcel van, bodywise better than this one, but in need of welding for the upcoming test, £100

 

 

Get it before it gets scrapped!

[pogweasel]

Wherabouts is that one for sale?

[FredTransit]

Luton Bedfordshire, I have a number if you want it. Quite tempted myself.

[pogweasel]

Please, Luton is well within reach... you say it's still got some test on it?

[dollywobbler]

Cor, just down the road Mr Weasel!I'd love it, but I got that look...

[FredTransit]

It has TWO WEEKS test only, and needs welding, in case you think it's a minter, though the outside was recently re sheeted.

[STUNO]

I'd love it, but I got that look...

Was that the "you buy it you live in it look" ?

[pogweasel]

Sounds OK to me. Worth a look anyway.Would something like that rent out for the film stuff too?

[dollywobbler]

I'd love it, but I got that look...

Was that the "you buy it you live in it look" ?

No, not that bad. I last got that look when I said I wanted a Leyland Leopard coach - which would have been fine as it was kitted out as a mobile home anyway...It was more the " and what's your success ratio with projects then?" look.

[FredTransit]

Well yes, already had a job out of mine. Er. tripled me money actually.....

 

Here's the full ad, it is now £100, and no longer has tax.

[Guest]

That's ACE! I can't believe it's only £100 to be honest.

[pogweasel]

Cheers, I'll give them a call in the A.M.

[FredTransit]

I would have had it, but as long as it goes to a good home, I don't mind! Don't want to see it go to scrap.

[pogweasel]

Certainly not!!

 

Here at the Pog Trust we promise never to have shite put down...

[FredTransit]

Pog wasn't it you that wanted my bullion van? No I'm not selling it, just wondered if you had a hankering for a mk2

[pogweasel]

Yeah, I was a bit interested by it. But then I am always interested in any cheap, grotty old tat.

[FredTransit]

Aren't we all? Just an odd thing to be after without a purpose. My purpose is to populate the Home For Old Transits. Oh, and film them.

[FredTransit]

Pog if you are serious about the parcel van go for it. If not, I could buy it and have found a home for the bull bar, which means I would get it for nothing! Let me know eh?

[seth]

Be a shite hero Pog!

[FredTransit]

I am not talking about scrapping the van, just selling the bull bar. I don't like em on big vans anyway, to me they only look good on regular panel vans.

[FredTransit]

I take it back, this one is stunning compared to the luton I bought yesterday.

 

 

 

Proper shed, but I wanted the body for me Mk1 (no longer to be a horse box). Also has a decent pinto and other bits worth having like window winder mechanisms. The scuttle is good too, so it will die and others will live.

 

Oh and I am going for the parcel van, too good to pass up at a oner.

[pogweasel]

Good for you. I cannot convince the domestic management.

[FredTransit]

I know you want to! Could do you a nice luton......
