Hi my name is Roger, I have recently purchased a Mk 1 Transit 1973 Canterbury built camper. It has been converted to a Pinto 2L engine and I think I will keep it that way. It is up and running with an MOT however it will be a bit of a rolling project to improve the body work. I also intent to fit a 205 engine I now have. I own several Classic Minis but I am a first time classic Ford owner so please forgive some of my ignorance! I am after any help with sourcing body panels and mechanical parts as this is all new to me!

evening roger, as you have found out, transits are better than commers ! they may not rust as quickly either. from the ex mini owner down the road ! it looks great too (your transit)

You had the Mk2 SWB in Orange from Salfords didn't you? The previous owner keeps asking when I'm converting mine into a camper!
