Not much needed for a new ticket by the looks of it.

Credit to them for inheriting it and not immediately calling the local 'We Buy Scrap Cars' trader.

I think there's still a Fairey capstan winch fitted to it? Could be a 'method' for directing a rope onto the winch drum without using the roller*

*fun fact, the roller, well - it rolls. Really useful when you are unbolting a bonnet mounted spare whilst standing on the bumper. Ask me how I know....

No connection with the seller , but seems a decent old bus for pin money. Just needs a bloody good clean inside and out.

Paging @dollywobbler for some cheap content. Also @sutty2006 as think your mate was after some transport
 

Thanks! 
 

I gave up trying to negotiate that website

No idea, I just thought it looked a bit like a pyramid. If anything it would have got in the way of the Capstan Winch as I’m sure from when my dad used them you had to loop the rope around a couple of times and keep tension on the end of the rope (opposite end of what your pulling) otherwise the drum wouldn’t grip the rope and just spin, this is going from memory though

You'll need a trailer. And winch.  And probably some new swear words.

Assuming the battery etc is ok, maybe it's worth £600?

Would have no real clue, but sounds like bollocks to me looking  at it. May also beg the question why they didn't have it MOT'd.

Probably wouldn't mention that, M8. Didn't end well for Rod Hull.

 

The 4.7 V8 will not tolerate poor maintenance or the wrong spec oil, from what I remember the sump capacity is also on the small side,

they go really well otherwise
