that first one sold on ebay for 1200 i think.. maybe a year ago.. remember it worzel?

it was a van from traralgon. the blokes dad was really cut cause he thought it was worth much more.. and said his son was an idiot for putting it on ebay for 1200 buy it now of course sold straight off.. the side pipes would get me. althou wonder how much rust are in them always a killer

just rang the bloke.. reserve on the auction is 3400!!!! far out!!!!! wanna be desperate for that..

I just put in a offer but if I don't like it I won't buy it.  And if he's interested in the offer i'm asking you Ben to come look at it with me.

[ben]

cool!!!!!

[Worzel]

if it's the one i remember it was 2000 buy it now.
might have to ask you to have a look at it with me too ben 

[ben]

what would be very helpful if i could find the blokes number who used to own it.. i did have it. but i think its gone now.. we meet in the supercheap car park one day..

ive been to his house in traralgon. but im not exactly sure where it was now. ill have to have a look for it on the way to melb this weekend..

we could all go together.. althou that could get messy hey!!!

[Worzel]

haha, would that push the price up?
Be nice to know what's really wrong with it from a previous owner though.
But experience tells me that EVERYTHING that hasn't been rebuilt lately will be f%#$ed

Well Well Well I see that bedford owners have sewing circles as well or this the mothers club ? .

Lets clear up  a few facts shall we

What i paid for it is nobody's concern, however i am happy to tell you

I bought the Van off ebay from a  guy in Taralgon about 12mths ago for $2000

And YES Ben i am selling it for a reserve of $3400 a total of $1400 more than what i paid for it and if you don't like the reserve don't buy it, its simple .

Why am i selling it ?

I bought it for a purpose and now that has changed, my wife is not comfortable towing with the Bedford so we have decided to sell it so someone else can have the pleasure of owning a classic van.

Why the higher reserve you might ask ? this is why....

I sold a Short wheel base  Bedford two years ago that i bought for $800 got it back on the road and sold it for $1800 that had a holden six in it and had alot of rust issues. The mechanicals were good and i made sure it was 100% when i sold it, the guy who purchased it from me got a very good van for the money.

This Van body wise is fantastic compared to my old van, the rust is minimal and can be fixed very simply. The mechanicals in this van are very good, the engine is strong and the transmission shifts well and the diff isn't whiny. I think it may have a wheel cylinder out in the rear but that's about all. Of course it is a old van so there may be a few little bits and pieces required for RWC . Overall this van is in good condition and worth the money I'm asking, i think that i purchased it very well and the previous owner sold it too cheap but that's my good fortune.

As you all know its very hard to buy a Bedford Van with a previously engineered and registered V8 hence the price.

If you want to know whats wrong with it rather than chase up previous owners i suggest you do one of two things

1. ASK me i owe the VAN  my number is on the listing
2. Come and have a look for yourself

I am happy to let you look at it, drive it ( you take all risk as it not currently Registered or insured) and inspect it in anyway. You can come by yourself or the lot of you can come over i'm not fussed.

This van has had work done it by the previous owner but what vehicle of 30 years of age hasn't, i don't think you can say they are all f%#$ed

Doofhard i take it you are the guy who offered me $2k for it,  I thank you for your offer but i will decline.

[Dano]

I think it's a resonable price , LWB,V8 conversion done, pre registered as v8, good strong drive train, apparently, min rust,apparently. look what Iv'e got to do to Borrie, things arn't looking too good for her at the mo .......  but if I was looking for a jumbo it'd be sold. with a %$ load of  detailed photo's....

[pickmeup]

Jeez i thought it was a good price,you guys are starting to expect  a" bargain of the year" every time you buy one.
Like the man says go and have a butchers hook or get someone on here to do it for ya!
