Andrew Beattie Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I'm looking for a swb mk1 transit van, probably in fairly poor condition to fit my budget, to restore and fit a modern diesel. If anyone could point me in the direction of one in the south, your help would be very much appreciated! Thanks, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 There were some German Fire brigade transits working their way across here recently. Some of them were on ebay. They are all red, immaculate, no rot, would be a good start for a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Beattie Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks Windy, think I saw one on ebay that looked good, but I think RHD is a must as it will be my main mode of transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be that hard to convert to Right hand drive - I'd consider it esp if you can get a van with a good body - very difficult for a MK1 i would have thought ?

Andrew Beattie Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 The transit forum seems very helpful, so I'll keep an eye out their. I suppose its sensible to still consider a lhd but will just have to weigh up each indivdual van that I come across, I may end up reverting a camper if its body is ok. transit This one in scotland seems good, might wait for a closer one though!
