Correctly engined Transit

1989 Ford Transit Luton box van | eBay

'The speedo over-reads by about 20%. ie. if your doing 50, it will read 60'

'Its not the fasted van in the world but will do 70mph'

Is that 70=60 or 80-70, M8?

I'd be very surprised if an early DI with a Luton box would manage a genuine 70.

And also having noticed no jumber plates on view I can’t do some background checks. I bet this has been put it through at whatever cost.

Pretty tempted by this Legend despite it not being much better than most others cosmetically or mechanically (and really wanting a coupe). Low mileage and very long term owner though!

Don't know if I'm the right person to ask  as I am totally biased! But yes it looks worth a look though I would hope they'd be open to negotiation at that price. 

It's the best engine. Not the smoothest or quietest but they do sound happy being thrashed a bit. 

Pre facelifts look much nicer, I think anyway, but that's a wierd hole in the front bumper. Another negotiating point I'd say. 

And it looks nice and shiny but check it very carefully for laquer peel. Once it starts it never stops. When I bought mine (same colour) there was one small patch in front of the sunroof, by the time I got rid the whole car was riddled with it, though admittedly that was nine years later. The fact it has got this far without it starting means it might be a good one. 

Check rear arches for rust obviously but if they are OK then I expect the rest of the car will be. 

But yeah obviously I'd say it was a perfect first car. Also good for teaching someone how a car works though I'm certain it would be reliable. 

Watching with interest.

HGF, has a 'Cat' marker on it and someone has dented the roof and bonnet.

Bloody peacocks, not only have they scratched it but they have dented it as well

These are just brilliant little things. That fella never did get back to me, even though I offered asking price if he stuck a fresh ticket on. Must’ve been a lemon....

Our old ones did, well some of them. I think the one I usually piloted was on 293,000 miles. When it went and was replaced by a 6 pot Euro Cargo, I'll grudgingly admit they seemed faster, and would happily climb to speeds well past the where the tacho ended, and the 6 odd tonne 2.8 Daily vans would do 95 on a flat if pushed.

I don't know what the going rate is for these, but £2k sounds alright even though it does need an exhaust. It's in Leicester.
