Is there something wrong with it? I was having a good look at that Synchro, but now you've all put me off. Does it have history?

Like the vendor says has had lots of mechanical work done, 2 ortec spare wheel carriers say £750 each? Good useable van to abuse off road

Slip of the Decimal point there ..... £7.50 each

Help me out here guys....thinking of buying this. Why did you think it had been scrapped? Anything I should know about?

I think he is asking too much for it. Might be worth about £4k max

Is there anyone up around Penrith that can take a look at this for me? It's a long way from Cardiff, and if it's a dog, I won't have wasted my time and money. Happy to pay some travel costs.
I'm sure there was someone who offered to do this, earlier down the thread, but it seems to have gone now. Can anyone help?

box was fully rebuilt just over a year ago, cost over £1k - tells you the owner has spent money on it since Kev abandoned it to it's fate, it's a bit of a mongrel (originally a top spec caravelle), but then so's a T3 Syncro and it works, worth a look and some serious negotiation, see what else the paperwork shows, it had plenty of work at Brickies 6-5 years ago, I know I did some of it back then

Meeting with the vendor on the weekend to check this one out. Fingers crossed.

Good luck! Mechanically it sounds good.

Didn't go to see this afterwards. Something else came up, but to be honest, it looks like it needs a shed-load of bodywork. Shame really.

This bus has now been sold. Emailed the vendor to see if it was still available, but he sold it on Monday. Anyone on here buy it?
