Its a 1990, 1.9L, Petrol, Manual, Watercooled T25,
One previous owner from new, 124,000 miles with service history.

The old boy who owned it was very sorry to be selling it, but his wife has mobility problems and could no longer get in and out of the vehicle - luckily for me, he was not a member of DBS - none of his sailing club pals advised him to "slam the fucker".

So he listed it in the wrong section on ebay, which Griff cleverly noticed and kindly put in the spotted for sale section - with half an hour to go I noticed it, fired off a couple of quick questions, and bidded.
Griff - I owe you, I will be treating you to cider of your choice at the next opportunity Very Happy

Its in its original microbus form, 11 seats, twin sliding doors, (working!). The paint has been touched up hap hazardly, there is some filler in the rear arches, and the cab steps have been repaired. Underneath is solid, I can see no evidence of welding, or shunt damage, and none needed anytime soon touch wood.
Headlining is non existant, and some little darlings have pressed their hands and feet into the foam, so it actually, being yellow, looks like an upside-down sandy beach on the roof, without the dog shit and syringes tho Wink
Seats/cab area is as expected for a 20yr old bus, but overal im pretty happy. It drove back ok, very quiet, apart from a slight clicking from one of the back brakes which im checking out next week...

TBC... Cool

Deal!

No rimmage/slammage till I've done the boring stuff first...
As soon as I have another 12mths ticket then I'll have a look, cheers for the link to the rims tho scoops.

There are some rims that could go on at work, they are nearly new Fondmetals, but they are only 15's, and I don't think it'll look right til its a tad lower...



I've taken the first two rows of seats out, been looking at flooring/interior options...
