That Calibra looks good even with the adverts massive lack of detail

I wonder where 35 mpg comes from? A friend had a fairly new one as a company car at the time and it was crap on fuel. We used it on a few longer runs and the little yellow light was on before 300 miles despite a monster tank, about 80 litres IIRC.

 

20-22. maybe 28-30 on a run.

 

Shitiing nora where can i get some green nato paint?

That G plate Transit should have a fourth pedal, the windscreen washer.

 

My first VW beetle had five pedals, the usual 3 plus the dip switch and the fuel reserve valve.

Do you know what, I really like that VW advert's pictures, I find them very satisfying.  The little hidden exterior power point is actually a very neat solution too.

I think that power point is for pluging into the mains when you're camping, but yes it's a clever touch hiding it there

Those actually make half decent vans, or even camper conversions if you can find a cheap ex-builders one. The engines aren't particularly troublesome, they're fast enough and can take a load. A mate picked up one for £650, ply lined but a bit rough - chucked a mattress in the back and toured the beaches of Cornwall. 

 

The mega-money ones with cheap chinese stick-on tat thrown at them look terrible though. LED headlamps and clear this and tinted that and fuggin' Porsche bits.... it's still the same van, still does the same job so how does £650 sound?

Bloody lovely vans. I spent a good few months being paid to drive around in a 1.9 turbo diesel, and a 2.4 non-turbo, five-pot diesel. Absolutely marvellous. They cornered very well, but I don't recommend getting one airborne. They land heavily...

 

Shame folk spend thousands of pounds ruining them. And that you just can't get cheap ones anymore.

Be quick on this SL too. Classy arch repair must clinch the deal.

Mega-cheap Puma, even with the engine telling knock-knock jokes the rest of it's so tidy that the BIN seems like a steal.

If I had some spare ££ I'd definitely give this a shot although it sounds fairly terminal, 1.4 Zetecs must be pretty easy to come by though.  I'd wonder what on earth the owner's been doing to it to knacker 2 engines though.
