Default Escort van

i need to get rid of my van to make way for a bigger one.

it is ex BT, so it is an off grey colour. Bodywork isn't bad for age! i have seen much worse newer shape escort vans.

it is 1.8D. runs and drives fine. all tyres are ok. engine is good. it has MOT till mid October. no tax at the min but if need be i can tax if your paying and want to drive away. i live 5 mins from a post office.

i have priced the van to reflect condition and MOT length etc, if it doesn't sell i will put 12 months on it and raise the price. i've had a look around it, and it needs a wheel bearing to get another MOT. i can't see anything else!

£350!!

van is in Shropshire

What's the mileage on it at the mo? Any dents and bodywork rust? Not too concerned about the underside (which I can bodge around with a welder if needed) I want a van with generally clean bodywork though so the topside is more important.

Arches and sill condition?

clock is reading 6. so 106k but i will check later to confirm

underside isn't to bad from quick inspection

outside is pretty good for age tbh. i will try and get some more pics for you, that way you can judge for yourself mate. there is a little bubbling around the fuel cap as to be expected but off the top of my head thats about the worst of it!!

like i said, i have seen a LOT worse!

i will try and get pics today for you

Looks very straight for it's age.
I'd put a 12month ticket on and shove it on the bay for £600.
