Cheers for the comments guys!

Alistair, Ive only driven it 350 miles home from when i bought it. Pulls really well and drives pretty decent. Ive had about 6 of them now, the old blue one that i restored was only running a pinto and 4 speed and towed really well so hopefully this should do the job pretty well.
Ill let you know next time i borrow your trailer!

Nice pair of vans. We had one of this shaped minibus at my primary school. It had a massive hole in the floor at the back, you could hang your leg out of it lol. Don't think health and safety existed back then!

The van got mot'd today, couldnt believe it when i looked underneath when it was up on the ramp. Never seen a welder and as clean as a 10 plate transit. Happy days

I remember, when I was young, seeing mk1&2 Transit etc, with the sliding drivers doors and them being driven with the door open...

Another H&S no - no I guess these days....

Stunning van! Love mk2 transits, given the cash and time I'd build a dayvan from one.

Yours looks fresh as it is but it's asking for some of the old stripes too, was it the first supervan that had them?

Think the mk1 was plain white, the mk2 had the stripes...?

True. Most people have never seen the original Supervan though, so automatically think of Supervan 2 as the "old" or "original" one.
