Felly Magic Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Earlier this week, I moved from Martlesham to Felixstowe (bumped into Trigger at the tip as well, proving you cannot go anywhere without bumping in to someone you know), and employed a local 'man with a van', and what turned up? A Smiley Face R reg Transit diesel luton with a tail lift, the perfect removals van if there ever was one. The lads were utterly brilliant too I may add.

dieselassist Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Im doing a 'one bedroom' furniture fetch; 350 mile round trip, tomorrow, for my niece, using my Disco1 300tdi 'van' and a single axle trailer with the rear beam well below the tyre 'scrub line' - does that count as shite enough??

surprisingskoda Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I did a 400 mile each way removal recently with my 06 Ducato which has at least one dent in every panel and shows under 75k although there's no way that's genuine... it's my favourite version of shite, totally reliable but looks like £200 would be being generous. eddyramrod and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_the_cat Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 There's this firm in Sheffield still using a fleet of VW LTs. Seemingly proud of them as they feature heavily in their photos http://www.frommetoyouremovals.com/ Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruff Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I was out in the boonies near Lincoln yesterday and saw a jumbo removal van (vanplas body?) on a 1986 D plate hard at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I last moved house in a 54 plate Transit Luton. It wouldn't go in 3rd gear, I certainly wouldn't have wanted to go very far in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr A Lawrence Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 We moved from Holywell to st Asaph in February and the removal truck they used was a mint 1982 Bedford tk.
