Got my T3 minibus - when I bought it, it had 1 owner from new (a dial-a-ride company) until this year.

 

Located in Derby...

 

Myles might kill me for this because he loves it and I've always said it's a 'keeper' - but my old LT's potentially for sale (which I dearly loved...!!) so I'm gonna try and raise some capital!!

 

Class 5 (full on PCV) MOT til November, tax til november at the moment (but its that free tax from when it was a disabled van) so it needs changing - I'm in the process of doing it at the moment so it might be a different tax date soon...

 

It's a 10 seater conversion. It's got a bit of rust around the petrol cap and a bit around the rearmost windows... also the rear left arch took a bash at some point, but I've mostly sanded it back, treated the rust, and 'sealed' it for now.

 

Around the windscreen, and above the front bumper, are in what can only be described as 'mint condition'

 

The middle two rows of 2 seats are removable at literally the flick of a lever and drop right out - and all of the floor mountings for wheelchairs are still accessable should you need them.

 

The van was classed as an ambulance so comes with its original stretcher  I've also got two ramps which were originally wheelchair ramps which fit into either sliding door - we've used them a couple of times moving pianos!

 

Engine wise its sound and strong and pulls well - bit chuggy when its cold but its a 1.9DG and that's what they do!

 

It does sometimes jump out of first gear - the linkage does need adjusting, if I find time I'll do it before sale - if not, then just be warned that it wants doing... also one CV joint is very slightly knocky under harder cornering, but not too bad!

 

The interior is what makes it - the van is fully trimmed out and nicely looked after - odd bits of wear and tear but its got character.

 

I've used this van trekking up and down the M1, going snowboarding, moving peoples houses, commuting to work in, blablabla, and i can honestly say in all that time it has never let me down... it's been fully serviced and kept in PCV working order by the company that had it right up until recently, so it's sound!

 

Anyway I'll let the pics do the talking! If you want any more of a specific part then let me know.

 

 

 

it's the middle one here:

 

 

and just because im honest - this is what the rust around the filler flap looked like when I took the paint off - its not rotten through, just surface rust - it'll be perfectly solid for years to come, but if you want a perfect finish... ya know how it is!

Also if anyone wants to pay petrol and my return journey, I'll drive it anywhere in't country to prove I have faith!
