Correct.  2.5 was a bog standard v6. The Miller was a 2.3....

This. The Xedos 6's 2.0 was actually available in the 9 as well but why would you. Extremely optimistic price, isn't that even the car that was unsuccessfully flipped for 1300 quid before? If yes, why is it 3 grand now?!

I was wondering if that was the earlier one?

Anyways - how about a £495 C5 Auto in Stamford sounds like proper AutoShite

That is the ultimate panel van.  Ideally it would have a 2 litre V4* rather than a pinto but let us all thank the Transit  gods that it doesn’t have that fucking hateful DI Diesel that ruined most of the mk3s. 

*Yes I know that the mk3 never was made with a V4.

This looks like a bit of a deal at £4,250

There is a slight tap from the engine (suspect lifter or something alike)has got better through the day

Ah... But still might get away with at home rebuild.

Then you will find 1/2" of filler here and there. Looks like the front screen is cracked too.

But still if it was a 55 Chevy the price would be through the roof.

Also that is if the listing isn't a scam.

This is the one Craigs supposedly bought.

I honestly don't know much about them but can't help but worry that if this one breaks, it might be cheaper to pay £3k for the other one compared to getting this repaired.

Your reading-between-the-lines skillz are obviously superior to my own if you managed to get that from the advert.

I think certain suspension parts like shock absorbers are unobtainable but that's part of the fun.

Furthermore, going to a Ford commercial dealer in 1991 and telling them you actually wanted a Transit that runs on petrol is on par with going to Mercedes, telling them you want an SL500 and requesting they remove the engine and replace it with a photograph of Sooty & Sweep.

Good stuff, I wasn't 100% certain! Still a bit wide though for a 1.6 eh?

Hmmm, nice Ford transit... 

"Could do with a clean but still very usable. When done up it's a 3k van"

Not so sure about that, but a 3k crack den would sound about right 🤣🤣
