FS LWB LDV Minibus!!

OK it is a long shot and if the post needs to be removed then fine. Selling the van to provide some funds to acquire a decent donor car for my build.

Then wondered if anyone here would be interested in it as a means of transporting their car to race meets etc. Converting it to carry a car internally.

The rear door opening is just under 5 ft, that's 60 inches or 152 cm, which I know is tight for many variants.
The floor length behind the drivers seats is 11 ft long, or 132 inches or 335 cm. But one needs to get over the wheel arches.

In standard form with the seats removed it will not fit a typical Gibbs Haynes roadster I am trying to build but may fit some of the smaller variants of 7, its just an idea anyway.

Linky thing

As mentioned I would be interested in an exchange for a decent donor, Sierra, pre cat model either 1.8 Pinto or 1.8 CVH.

Cheers

Adrian

No it is not plated for over 3500kg.

I am a bit confused by the V5 document Shows it as a
400 series D 3.5T, body type minibus then revenue weight 3300kg?? Is the 3.5T the old Imperial Ton and the 3300 kg the equivalent?

I can remember getting it weighed and with me in it was around 2100kg so can have a load of 1200kg internally, if I am reading that correct. Can tow to 1500kg.
