Guest pelmetman Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Amazing how someone will spend some serious money and leave it sat on the drive 8-) ............. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291583620050?clk_rvr_id=907680338938&rmvSB=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowtelse2do Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I don't have a good feeling with this Dave, don't forget at 99,999 ml this model mileage flips over to zero after the next mile. I'd be asking some serious questions and having a professional inspection if I was interested in it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Agreed, but look at the drivers seat ;-) ........... No sign of a 100 thousand miles of bum on there.....plus those alloys like the interior are perfect :D ....... Also the rust around the edges is indicative of just being sat on a drive for 2 decades.............. besides when it comes to Trannies and rust.......I'm an expert *-) ...............

nowtelse2do Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 There's no way a converter would leave the back of the fringe open like this one. It looks like a VW campervan conversion to me. I don't think it's an Auto Sleeper conversion and they use the Executive name, so i'm not convinced. New seats or recovered is easy enough and the alloys can still be found. I'd like to see a few mot's although that's still not proof. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave I think you'll find the "Executive" label refers to the Tranny Dave, as its the top spec Tranny of its day.....heated seats forsooth 8-) ............ Plus the seat fabric matches the bottom half of the door cards ;-) ...... My monies on the mileage being genuine based on what I can see from the pic's B-) ..........

Bulletguy Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It's certainly a Transit and in relatively decent nick judging by the photographs. Obviously anyone seriously interested would need to view. I doubt the mileage is genuine and really the seller should have put in his description that the clock shows 15000 miles......but as he doesn't have all the MOT's it cannot be proven. Shame it's a petrol but it was a good idea to stick a clip on YouTube of the engine running which gives the seller some credibility. Be interesting to see what it goes for.

Guest Peter James Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 From what he says he has done he would be a reasonably competent amateur mechanic. So if getting it running and tested is not an expensive job why hasn't he done so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 15 thousand miles in 22 years. I'd hate to get stuck behind a driver going that slow. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly lost interest as many do but i doubt he'll be worried......it was sold and the ebay listing ended earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletguy Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 pelmetman - 2015-10-08 5:17 PM Someones got a bargain I suspect ;-) ............ I'd expect to pay around £1k - 1500 max. Taking into consideration the welding which needs doing, set aside around £500 (unless able to do it yourself) and with new MOT you'd be looking at a camper to actually sell at a profit after a few years of use. Very few owners can claim to have achieved that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
