Ummm, its white!

We had it 4 years or so now. 2 years ago the cambelt went, around 129000. Replaced with another, full service including cambelt and clutch, due to old one slipping anyway. Now on 150000, tax out end of the month, MOT due end of March, not the rustiest one ive seen! All electrics work, tow bar, all it should need for next MOT is 2 new rear leafs. Water pump went summer just gone, so replaced with a new one.

I will say, when both the engine, clutch and waterpump needed replacing, it was a case of emergancy, as the van is used everyday, and each of our days cost £200-£400 each, so the work was done as quickly as possible, for example, the water went, and was fixed on the same day, so didnt get time to do the cambelt unfortunatly. The cambelt on the last engine went on a Thursday morning, and the van was back in service Monday morning, thats with finding a new engine. HOWEVER, the work is not bodged, just rushed, but has never failed us since the work has been carried out, and that was 2 years ago now.

Never have to top up the water, or oil. Pulls really well for a 90 transit, as this is our 3rd now, but with the replacement engine is easily 20 times better than the last (no joke!)

The only reason for the sale is, i have 3 cars aswell as this van, its time to stop assing around and buy a decent van, that i can use longer journeys, and just use my gf's car when needed. Otherwise we would keep the van untill it was broken beyound what we thought would be worth fixing, which really is nothing on these vans, as they are cheap and easy to maintain anyway.

If you are interested, ill get some pics. With any luck i would of sold 1 of the cars i have, which will give me space to replace it with the new van during my xmas holidays. But i do have somebody else interested, its strange, out of the 3 cars i have for sale, its the one i havnt put up for sale thats gained the most interest!

But on a serious note, me and my dad will be gutted to see it go.

500's the price, as there is some guy a know that wanted it for the same price.

Ill get some pics after a clean sometime this week. Sorry i didnt get any today, ive been busy selling another car. I think the numpty picked up my part of the logbook, now i cant get hold of him, so now i have no car, no logbook, no address, but i do have the money!
