12k Miles – Very Solid – LYHD – Ex German Fire SVC
1980 Ford Transit LWB with only 12000 Miles or 19000 kms from new. This is a LHD import from Europe where we believe it would have been a fire service vehicle at some point. Its fully UK registered and we have the V5 here, original service book and a few other receipts. Its been in the uk since 2016 but hardly been used. I drove this today and it drives really well, but is a bit low geared , as a lot of these were.
Bodywork.
LWB Transit with twin side doors and one piece rear door. The shell is spotless for its age and very original. Its never been welded and is about as good as they come. These vehicles had a grey base colour on the inside and door checks etc then the fire service red outside. Paintwork is still presentable, with only a few minor marks on it. Very small bubble on osr door. Overall for its age its superb. rear window frames on side doors are a bit corroded but a new set come in the back of the van, along with a new rear door lock and various other small spares.
Mechanics.
2.0 Pinto which is really sweet and quiet. Original 4 speed box. As mentioned its really low geared and if you were serious about it you may need to rethink the diff ratio. Starts runs and drives well.
Interior.
Original seats, rubber mats, door cards all in very good order. A previous owner lined the floor, and sides.
Wheels.
Original wheels with decent tyres all round. Would probably look better in Silver
Our thoughts.
This is a stunning old van, if your into originality.. You are welcome to come and see the van and we have a ramp so you can look underneath. Delivery can be arranged if required. Please ask for a delivery quote or contact us with any questions. Thanks for looking.
