I was hunting on Gumtree last night, and came across this - www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/classic-ford-transit-minibus-16-petrol-white-manual-1980-model-no-mot-and-tax-86000-miles/1005851916Gave the guy a call, turned out he was only down the road in Croydon. Luckily for me I was with Muttley fixing a bull guard back onto my van (new years day, i got stuck in between a bollard and twisted it up, felt like a prat) Anyway.....I managed to convince Muttley to take me to see it and inspect it. Turned out to be in quite good nick with no rust underneath! Bought it and off we sailed away with her on the back of Spud. I will upload more pics soon!I'd like to say a massive thank you to Muttley for helping me retrieve this little gem, it sure was an adventure! Cheers mate!

Plans are to do it up and probably keep it for a long time. I see it as an investment

A bully keeps vandalising my posts Andy. So I write a post. Leave it up for a while. Then edit it out before it gets vandalised. I expect I will get banned soon. What do you reckon please?

actually you are not editing the posts. You can tell that thats all the post is in its entirety as there is no editing note at the bottom.
