SOLID

 

 

There is a small hole in the drivers floor, a small hole in the boot floor, a small hole in the top of the tank, 3 small holes around the rear screen, rear panel has gone all the way round the edge, both wings just behind the front wheel arches

 

 

That is all!

That Vento has a Golf front end on, deffo a bit of Pineapple going on there. That Caddy too, it looks like it has crashed in to a cheap car accessory shop window, and all the tat stuck to it

The Iveco UK fan club is chaired by Cavcraft himself, no doubt he'll be along shortly to gush at length about them.  I can only imagine how excited he'll be about one with 20 years of horse piss soaked into the floorboards.

I did see that blue BX and consider it, but I got disapproving looks for suggesting it and I've potentially found a perfect spares car for my Fiat duo, so....someone else on here better buy it.

I used to drive a fleet of those Ivecos.  AFAICS there's no noticeable Ford input, but they're not a bad old tool if the price is right.  My big complaint was the dogleg first (and generally low gearing) and the radio placement: approximately at your left ankle.  Brilliant* ergonomics there!  Oh and the sliding side-loaders had a habit of falling off, but on a horsebox that shouldn't be an issue.

A nice early mk3 Transit Horsebo11ox.  I can't imagine this is a speedy thing when fully laden.

Ford and Iveco are (or certainly were, I lose track) the same company. Ford commercial division was sold to Iveco

I once bought a SWB 35-8 off a bloke in Watford.  He'd owned it for four years, and he genuinely thought it was a four-speed 'box - he was completely unaware of the existence of the dogleg first.  To be fair it had such a low-ratio axle that second was about the same as first on a modern van, and comfortable cruising speed was about 55 - I did wind it up to 70 once but it sounded like it was about to put a rod through the block so I didn't try it again.

 

I don't mind them to drive though - they ride decently enough for something built on a truck chassis, and they cling on fairly well in corners.  The later 2.8 turbos go pretty well too.  They rot, but no worse than a Transit, and being a proper separate chassis you can get away with a lot that you wouldn't in a monocoque van.
