Had a lot of money spent over the last few years body works showing its age but to be expected for her age. 
It has a full set of wheel straps so ready to put to work.

 

The main reason I'm selling is I cant drive it, well not over long distances anyway. The seating position really hurts my knee. After spending 4 hours driving it today I've realised it's just not for me. I would much rather pay someone to move cars for me instead of suffering driving the Transit. It's ok to drive if a little bit slow.

Can everyone just refrain from buying this for a month, please? KTHXBAI

Just been offered a caravan and generator for it on Gumtree...

That's weapons grade right there. Shame it doesn't fit you

That's a tremendous building in the background.  Why is it so tall though?

I think it housed the winding gear when it was a working mine.

I would make the joke about MoT exemption*, but I'll leave it because it's unhelpful. 

GLTWTS - WTF you eyeing up my unit for?

[twosmoke300]

Mot exemption for recovery vehicles is long gone isn't it ?

[twosmoke300]

Also does it have ifs or a beam axle at the front ? Seems really early for a smiley unless that's a cherish transfer

This picture is just so full of win

The dash isn't smiley-ey either.  I think the 190s went over to IFS with the first facelift though. 

[twosmoke300]

Possible smiley front end fitted then ?

[sierraman]

Smiley front was 1995.

[purplebargeken]

We should crowdfund this........ no more car transport hassles. Sorted!

I know - I served my apprenticeship on them !

This is the best idea!

Good idea. I'll take 100% and everyone else can jog on.

[Felly Magic]

When are you and Barbara Cavland collecting it?

[Cavcraft]

As soon as you suckers have paid it for me!

[DodgyBastard]

Here's an idea, everyone can crowdfund it and it can just live at my garage...

It currently needs a front wheel bearing which will be fitted this week. Would there be much interest in a roffle at £25 a go?

[Cavcraft]

Yes.

[KruJoe]

Billy should buy all the tickets.

[Cavcraft]

This could well happen in a few weeks if it's still about. FOAD, what's it down as on the V5, does it say 'recovery' as thetaxrates are cheaper and the tunnel fees.

Better than a twix and a games consul is suppose.

[Six-cylinder]

Does it have power steering?

[DodgyBastard]

Yes it does.

Aren't you limited in use though, ie you can't use it legally to run one in as frag only for recovery of a stranded vehicle?

[Cavcraft]

That's on the (joke) MOT exemption, which doesn't legitimately cover 3500 (or under) KG vehicles. I have feeling my insurance no longer cover recovery trucks though, so would have to have a new policy, then ensure that covers all aspects.
