Hello, My name is Jim Hill. I rum a small Motorbike service, repair & MOT business in Long Eaton which I started in 2007 using A Mk5 4meter luton as a mobile workshop. The business has grown into a unit in the last year. The Mk5 was bought off a scrap yard in 2007 and has done me proud up til now. I've been Ford transit forum member since 2005 and owned a Mk1 Ci camper which I took round Europe for 12 weeks in 2003 with my wife Sal and our two dogs. As usual the Mk5 is suffering from rot and needs to be replaced. I have no interest in anything newer and a love of Mk1s. So in 2010 i sourced a rot free Mk1 chassis cab from Italy which I drove back as far as Belgium before the gearbox went bang. I then had to return with a rented trailer on the back of the Mk5 to collect it a fortnight latter. Only now four years latter am i ready to start work on The Mk1 to get it how I want it and on the road.
