Cheers for the add admin.
Hi folks, lm Nick from Wakefield West Yorkshire lve been a retro/classic car/van fan for years. Im on the retro rides forum and have threads on 2 of my builds 1st is a 1988 Skoda Rapid 130 thats having a full restoration and has spiraled out of control as they do. The 2nd is a 1988 skoda estelle 130 with a 136 engine thats a bit of fun. I also have a not so retro vw t4 van and its this thats the reason lm on here lm loving owning and driving a van again the practicality having a 18mnth old daughter and everything thats connnected with her haha a large dog who needs room. Ive been playing with the idea of getting an older van and always loved old trannys (the 4 wheel kind) l learned to drive in a pickup, so lm here to gain knowledge and hopefully contacts to enable me to get the right van eventually. Cheers Nick

Welcome mate! I think you will find the transit is better value than the VW. Get in touch with Ralph on here, he seems to find some good uns, also maltatransit brings em back to the UK. Good luck with your search.

If you were born in '76 try and find yourself a late mk 1 of the same vintage. You may get one with front discs too. You can grow old gracefully together. Welcome.
