Hi All, Reluctantly I need to sell my 1978 Australian Transit Sundowner Van due to impending lack of space. Van is located in Melbourne, Australia. It is fitted with the factory 4.1L crossflow 6 cylinder, three speed manual and borg warner diff. Has not been monstered or modified over the years. Fireglow orange in colour with the original saddle hounds-tooth trimmed rotating seats, full roof lining, chrome mirrors and sunraysia wheels. Has a host of spares including some panels, a full set of 5 Sunraysia wheels and other bits and pieces. Twin rear wheel diff shown in one of the pics is not included but a Falcon Borg Warner LSD is. This van is definitely not in concourse condition. I count 36 rust areas. Although the floors are fine most of the rust is around the drip rail and doors. Some of the supplied panels and sections are for the rust areas. I have documentation and books for the van from new. Can advise on freight to the UK.
Asking AUD$10,000.00. Exchange rate for the UK at the moment is great (for you guys) so less than UKP5,000.00. Will easily fit in a 20' container so freight should be about AUD$5000,00. I'm a mate of Conrad who has shown his Sundowner on this forum. Also know quite a few motor sport people in the UK for references. Roo bar no longer fitted. Will need a full body resto, seats re-trimmed (can get the hounds-tooth material), new tyres and general tidy up. Engine is fine as the previous owner told me that it is fitted with a reconditioned one and runs fine, no smoke and even the oil is clear. There were only 140 of these vans made in 78-80 and we believe there are less than 15 left. Grab a piece of history.
Would like to add some photo's but your forum makes it too hard. If you're interested PM or email me and I'll send them to you.
Happy to answer any questions so feel free to contact me. Also have a 1978 V8 Ford Falcon Sundowner Van (in need of resto) for sale as well.
Cheers, David.
