Default Van needed

Hi people, just putting a post up in here, not sure if its the right section for it so please move if needed.

I'm looking for a van to carry the bikes around in. Looked on ebay and the trader but people are after silly money for their vans.

I've got £1500 MAX (and that's grudgingly) to play with, and I need to either find a swb transit (can't get insured on lwb + don't want it) or a ranger pickup.

To save rambling, I was wondering if anyone had one of these vehicles for sale or know anyone that does? It would really help me out lots.

Has to be Ford, as I get cheap parts and can fix them. Mileage around 150,000 max and any other colour/condition is cool.

Thanks very much.

Beware the VAT on top of the quoted price for vans.

Really??
Have you found a way to stop the bloody front tyres from wearing along the edges??
I've had transits for years and they all do it.....

At work most of the ones we get in seem to have even wear on them. Dunno though.

Just drive it in straight lines.
