Ford Transit Campervan .

Well it has now become time to sell our beloved camper van. We have lived in the UK for six years now and had it for around 5 years. We are now relocating back to South Africa and sadly have to part with it. As we have loved it so much, I will be taking time to write this advert. We have used it extensively at every available opportunity, touring the UK, France, The Netherlands etc. We are now towards the end of a three month trip around Europe. We plan to be back early September. We are based around Surrey area where the van can be viewed. As we are flying back, all Lonely Planets, UK and some EU road maps, etc. will be left in van. Now about the Van:- • Ford Transit 1988 2.5 Ltr Diesel • 5 Speed manual gearbox • Amazing fuel economy • 154000 miles and engine running like a dream ( good old Ford tractor engine, everlasting ) What we have done to it • I have had the gearbox and diff completely overhauled, paperwork available • I imported a new prop shaft in wooden crate and had it fitted • I have had a new clutch assembly fitted • I have had a new alternator fitted • Two new batteries Now about the accessories • Tom Tom Satnav with UK and Europe maps • 240 volt inverter • 12 volt battery charger • Barbeque • Two camping chairs and table • Fully equipped kitchen • Two plate gas stove and grill • Three Calor gas bottles with regulator • Fridge ( gas, 12 and 240 volt ) • Extra house battery • Wired for 240 volt with long extension cord with camping sockets • Pressurised cold water ( 12 volt pump )with shower • Basin and draining board • 60 Ltr water tank and 36 ltr grey water tank • Porta potty • Wardrobe and shelves plus grocery cupboard • Masses of under bunk storage • Omnistor Sun awning • Ground sheet • Cycle rack • Seat belts for 4 people • Fly screens on all opening windows • Roof vent with fly screen • Swivel front seats • Original auto sleeper user manual • Rechargeable Dust buster • 240 volt electric heater • European safety kit with fire extinguisher • Two internal tables ( large and small ) • Double or two single bed options • Large overhead storage for bedding • Roll up hose pipe Bad points • Due to its age, it does not comply with the emission zone laws so it can not go into central London • There is some very minor rust which is normal for a van this old • Minor clutch shudder when cold which is characteristic for this model Optional extras £ 300.00 (neg.)
