Description
This is a Transit Mk 3, with a Mk 5 engine inside.
MWB, High top
MOT'd til next year by which time it will have entered Classic MOT exemption.
Engine was replaced with the Mk 5 before we got it (2017) and has given no issues, predictably is solid and reliable.
Originally a camper and since then converted to be properly insulated, insides redone including a wood burning stove and chimney added. Leisure battery system.
Major welding needed on the front: probably needs a new cross member. Might be possible to limp it somewhere carefully (drove to where its parked, starting fine) but might be better to get it lifted. This van needs some attention and needs to be a passion project, but has a lot going for it.
Other main issues are the locking system is dodgy, and indicators currently not working. There are quirks as with any vehicle this age but happy to talk through any questions. Also up for sensible offers/ discussion on price.
Gearbox and exhaust changed a couple of years ago, new steering column 5 years ago. Wee bonus if you want to keep it in, the woodstove is brand new and top quality.
Mileage is an educated guess as it's been round the clock.
You're buying MOT exemption with an 'indestructible' 'banana engine' in it. Selling because one of us has a kid now and the next stage of work is just too much - but its been in use, driven, and stayed in until very recently, it's really a great vehicle and if you can fix up the front end still has a lot of joy to give.
