Still, at least it's not a 'barn find'.

I bought this with the intension of fitting a V8 into her, but bad health forces sale

 

Could be seen as a blessing in disguise, then.

Hmm. The convertible and cosmetic "enhancements" are undoable leaving an pretty cheap to run everyday classic. If only there wasn't another more wonderfully practical diesel machine available at the moment..

this is a total one off example with holographic paint finish

 

Nah, someone just couldn't be arsed cleaning the spray gun properly.

[Largactil]

This appeals greatly... (Perhaps not at €1500, though...)

These must be getting quite uncommon now.  Early Vectra B with the 1686cc Isuzu TD lump.  Can't imagine this would be particularly quick, but it should be reliable and nom the veg.

 

[Parcgwyn]

Wot engine would that have?

 

Transit?

2.5 Peugeot, available in both turbo and na. Transit engine was later, think badge changed to LDV at same time.

Had an estate one of these about 18 years ago with Rootes 1725 twin carb engine and overdrive.

Wot engine would that have?

 

Transit?

2.5 Peugeot Indenor.  A slightly bigger and marginally more powerful version of the engine in Brookjm's 504.

 

That one is somewhat overpriced.

I had one.  Not a bad thing to drive actually (although mine was a later car with a 1500 pre-Xflow rather than the earlier unobtainium 1340).  Mechanical bits are easy to get, being mostly Cortina, but trim is a real pain.

[willswitchengage]

You reckon? For a cheap big van with long MOT it's cheaper than a smiley. Looks dead clean too

[aldo135]

I actually like this.

 

You could pretend to Joss Ackland in lethal weapon 2, drive with the window down shouting "diplomatic immunity."

It's just been revoked!

A smiley will be infinitely better to drive than a 400 though, and easier to get bits for.  That one is tidy for an old LDV though, I'll grant you.

Incorrect. Peugeot engines lasted beyond the LDV change, and were still under the bonnet when the 400 became the Convoy. After a few years, the Tranny engines took over. I much prefer the old Peugeot slogger.

I stand corrected, wasn't sure when the LDV badge first appeared.

[wuvvum]

I prefer the Peugeot engine in some ways - it's simpler, and it has preheat so a lot easier to start on a cold day.  It is diabolically sluggish though - even the TD version is far from quick.  I timed my turbo'd 400 from 0-60 once - it took 27 seconds.  Compare that to the smiley Transit 190 TD I owned at the same time, which would do it in 18.5.  My non-turbo Pug-engined Convoy took 36.5 - the third slowest 0-60 run of any vehicle I've owned, after the Ligier Ambra and the Dodge 50.

[dollywobbler]

I thought my turbo 400 Beavertail wasn't bad. Mind you, 27 secs is about the same as the 2CV, so I guess I was used to it.

 

Anyway. My watch list currently has these on it.

That 75 tourer looks nice. Bit of a gamble with it not starting though.
