[25v6turbo]

A few months ago i was offered a P reg MK1 trannyNow its got a price a years MOT and i have more infoIt was a local van,2 owners the second is the seller who has maintained the van from new,51k from new,loads of history,its a panel van,no side windows,no side doors,2 rear doors,glazed,normal opening front doors,SHOULD it have a V4???,I THINK it has a 1600 pinto lump from memery??its tidy but no concours winners,but very sound,dark blue,make good film van,anyway whats its rough value??FredTransit should fill in some details,but i,am wondering what price should be asked,my friend has been after one for ages,but all are very tatty,rusty,and some with running gear missing,any help would be great or if anyone knows of someone who needs one for filming??

Has it got a bull nose? It would have to have a pinto of any size in it. Otherwise it should have a V4 if it's a flat front, or a crossflow (is this the 1600 you are thinking of?), the V6 was also fitted with the bull nose. And of course the Diesel, original would be perkins and later engines York or slightly more up to date the 2.5L DI.

 

Bullnose (diesel, V6 or pinto) -

 

 

Flat front (V4 or crossflow) -

 

 

A word about rust. P reg was not a good year, it's to do with the steel strikes in the mid 70s. I took so many parts off P regs for our 74 I felt like I could legitimately change the plate to P.

 

If it's got a test, and without seeing it I would say £1000-2000, but a nice example could be more.

Hi FredGreat help,its a flat front,so i guess its a crossflow,its the same as the one used in Porridge the film,its under a grand so maybe worth it??,seem to be very few on fleabay,even in completed items,does this mean they are getting a bit rare?

[trigger]

Looking at the prices good ones go for on fleabay now I'd jump on it if it's not rotten (Although with a years ticket it can't be that bad).

[FredTransit]

yeah around a grand is fair, bear in mind it's not tax exempt so there is road tax on top of that.

love the ambulance

[autohausdolby]

That ambulance is TEH SECKS. I'd happily unwisely play on a railway line, bomb site, near sharp railings or allow my ball to roll into the road just for a chance to roll in it.

[FredTransit]

Yeah if you have got to go to hospital, this is the way to go. Only thing is, I get sick of being asked how many people have died in there.
