・Only 3 owners from new ・MOT until June 2022 ・Genuine low mileage
THE BACKGROUND
The Ford Transit really doesn’t need any introduction, it’s been the backbone of the British workforce for decades - and for good reason, it’s tough, spacious, well made and drives exceptionally well. The perfect base for a camper then.
This particular vehicle was converted to camper specification in late 2004 by Cosi Conversions in Kenilworth. Since then it has had 3 owners, all UK based, and has spent the last 3 years in the ownership of its current keeper in south Wales.
THE PAPERWORK
The V5 is present and correct, as are a large number of previous MOT certificates, confirming the low mileage. The current MOT certificate runs to June 2022. A few receipts for work carried out, as well as the original handbooks and manuals for the various components of the camper, are also included in the sale.
Most importantly, the vehicle comes with a great service history (The only missing services are 2009, 2015, 2016 and 2020), the last full service having been carried out by a local garage in February of this year, when the mileage was recorded as 80,198.
The cabin of the vehicle is in good condition, featuring a CD/Radio and air-conditioning. Blue-grey checkerboard style cloth adorns the seats, which are all in good condition with great cushioning and no visible rips or signs of significant wear. There is also an aftermarket reversing camera fitted to the vehicle. We are assured by the owner that everything works as it should in the main cabin.
In the rear section of the vehicle, there are two rows of bench seating, which convert to form the bed, as well as a combination oven/grill, an LPG hob, a stainless steel kitchen sink, an electric heater and a washroom featuring a toilet, sink and shower. There are also a large number of cargo nets, cupboards and drawers, all of which are in good condition.
The owner informs us that they have never used the fridge or oven, but believe they are in working condition, although the LPG tanks do need to be recharged.
It should be noted that a couple of handles are missing from one or two cupboards, part of the roof-lining needs to be refixed in the rear of the cabin, and the rear interior lights are not currently functioning. An awning is also included with the camper, although the owner has never used it.
Overall the interior of the vehicle is solid and in reasonable condition, but could benefit from some light renovation and a thorough valet.
Externally the camper is very solid. The panels are all straight and in fine condition, with only a couple of minor marks and scratches evident. With a good polish, we believe the paint would come up very well. To the rear, a bike rack and tow-hitch have been fitted, offering extra functionality and practicality. Underneath, the vehicle appears to be solid and in good condition.
According to the owner, the manual side-step below the sliding door has never functioned. There are also two missing wheel-trims. Otherwise, the exterior of the vehicle is presented in good condition.
Ford’s Duratec engines are remarkably robust and are well suited to this kind of application. In this vehicle, the engine has covered just over 80,000 miles, an exceptionally low figure for a 17 year old vehicle. Combined with the MOT and partial service history, this should give buyers confidence that they are purchasing a mechanically sound vehicle with the potential to run well for many years to come.
It certainly sounds in good health, and fires up quickly on ignition. The owner tells us that it rides well and changes gear smoothly. A couple of years ago, they took it to the south of France with no issues whatsoever.
Everyone wants a camper right now. And that means that prices are sky-rocketing. This particular vehicle offers an excellent opportunity – it’s solid, reliable, uses popular and proven Ford underpinnings, has a good level of specification and comes with very low mileage and a good partial service history.
With a little TLC to address a few minor issues, this would be a fantastic base for touring the British Isles and even further afield. The bones of this camper are excellent, and it really doesn’t need much work to be brought back to tip-top condition. And even if you just want a basic camper to use as-is, this is still perfect as it comes with a full MOT and all the kit you could reasonably need. A good valet, and she’ll be ready to go.
We can just see you now, pitched up on a cliff-top campsite, relaxing in your camp-chair, glass of something cold in hand as the sun sinks down to the sea.
Just make sure you pack your suncream.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
