    I'm prob going to have to sell my Race van, don't want to but baby on the way and I need something for myself as a daily and don't want to run a car and a van. So looking like i'll have to sell and buy a smaller van. :(

    it's an x reg movano, 120k ish on clock but has had a new engine put (90k I think) in and plenty of work done. Many have seen it, it's a cool old thing with living section with double bed above storage area for 2 bikes. Living Area with power, TV, sink, hob Etc. Also has a full awning with it that's about £1,500 new I believe.

    Since I've had it I had the slave cylinder done which is gearbox out job and new clutch plates. New starter motor to go in, but the existing was fixed (cheers Dave) so just a spare with it.

    I paid £3,500 for it and tbh i'd be gutted to sell as it's a perfect track day / race weekend van but cant justify not using it - needs to fund a new van and being a poor club racer would like as close to that as possible....

    Let me know if anyone interested, i'll update this with firm details and pics etc asap.

    Cheers,

    Jimbo.

    pretty good tbh mate considering her age - not perfect but by no means a bucket.

    Few spots and couple small dings but generally good imo.

    I'll back that up, I personally was surprised how clean it is underneath (when sorting the starter)

    Like I said, I paid 3.5 for it then dropped another grand+ on it so looking for my 3.5k back tbh mate.

    Got lots of receipts of recent work done. And tbh. If it doesn't get the money I want ill keep it as I love the thing. Just take some heat off the mrs for a while lol

    Jimbo will be eating his words soon enough when his idealistic views on buying a VW Transporter evaporate in to a cloud of Pampers and Baby Clothes and he ends up with a Vauxhall Vivaro like the rest of us! [​IMG]
