Okay guys I'm after a Tranist SWB van, I'm having this in place of a car.

So if anyone is selling one, or know of someone selling one then let me know. Must be in good condition, relaiable as it will be used to getting to the tracks and for work, I'm never late for work so it must be relaible.

I would expect to see a V5, HPI would be good, service history would useful and also what has been done to it and what needs doing in the next year. Power steering would be great as well, radio etc:D

Contact me in the usual ways, thx Thunder

Rule #1 - Never sell anything to a relative or a copper :rolleyes:

Why a transit? What you thinking of shifting? I can think of a few other vans with better MPG than a transit.....

And if moving the bike and gear - LWB would be better for room.

Its for my race bike to get around all the tracks etc...Also as my general run around.

Its kinds urgent now that I find one, as the other car I'm using now will be sold soon......I don't have time to mess about, I'm mad busy at work and have load of stuff to sort with the bike etc.

Up and over rear door for track bike would be useful, makes a handy roof for bad days and sunshade for hot.

Ace thx Mark though I suspect it might be too big, unless you wanna drive it?

I'm after the SWB casue its big enough to get everything in, also will be a bit easier to use round town, park at work we don't have muxh space, better on fuel ect.

Thx

If that's to big, perhaps the trailer option would be better ?

Well if I had my car I would spent money on it, but I don't think the 1.1 would have done well with a year of that. So its just esieer to use van really.

Also I was thinking tranist ford, they are generally cheap, cheap parts as well so a cheap and easy one to look after is best.

Ive had my "N" reg transit for just over 6 months and its possibly the most reliable vehicle ive ever owned! As long as you take care of them the will run for a hell of a long time.
