BODY & STRUCTURE
Solid van with a few scuffs and surface rust, nothing horrendous. When I had it professionally rust-proofed by Krown in 2019, Rob who did the work said that this was the most solid of the six T4s he'd treated. There is a small hole inside a front wheelarch (see pic) but it hasn’t caused any problems for MoTs.
DRIVING
The engine pulls well. All the gears select without scrunching. It cruises without any wobbles or pulling to either side, and it stops in a straight line.
PAPERWORK
There’s good service history for the last few years (my ownership and the previous owner). I was told it was owned by a mechanic for a long time, and he maintained it himself. The gearbox oil was surprisingly clean when I renewed it in 2019, so I think it had been well cared for.
I can send a Dropbox link to more photos, or do a walkaround video for you, zooming in wherever you want.
