You are looking at an incredible Ford MK1 Transit.
It has to be one of the cleanest. unrestored. unmolested MK1 Transit vans left.
The mileage is 6825kms from new. that's 4242 MILES.
The van started life in 1971. It was built in Cologne. Germany and sold new to the Swiss Fire service.
When it was retired from the Fire Service it was sold to a private guy in Switzerland who stored it for years.
It was imported to the UK this year and customs have been cleared. All the papers are ready and once it has an MOT. you send all the supplied documents with a £55 first registration fee to Swansea DVLA and get a free years tax (yes. it is tax exempt!) and a UK registration number.
The underside has no evidence of any welding. nor does it need it.
The van was delivered to Switzerland grey. and was painted fire service colours in 1971. The paint will polish up well. amazing for a 43 year old van! There is no evidence of rust aside from surface on a couple of light scratches the cab floor and on a couple of hinges.
All the shut lines are good. The bottoms of wings. doors and places where UK Transits fell apart are factory finish.
The interior is basic and the back. aside from a few holes drilled is unmarked. just amazingly well preserved.
It is now running (1700cc V4) with the help of new points and a carb rebuild but needs a new fuel pump as it isn't getting enough fuel under load and it needs the brakes going over as there is no brake pedal.
The fuel was drained but what came out looked and smelt as clean as the fresh fuel that replaced it.
Any inspection more than welcome. Realistic Swap/ Part Exchange welcome. LHD or RHD
I have a running SWB too in my other listings. Please contact 07866 274927 for more details
P/X welcome
