SWB found for sale in WA

[MaTTe]

Hey fellas, this van has been cruising past my place recently, honking the horn while i've been out the front on a few occasions. I'd been planning to catch the number on the side and call him to get the van on BUGA, but tonight while the missus and i were looking for her potential new car i stumbled across this...















hard to see from the photos, but it has pipes that exit infront of the rear wheels, its a 202 red with extractors and a k&n, disk brake front with hq calipers by the looks of it, looks like hq stud pattern. Body looks pretty clean and straight, paint looks pretty good too.
Interior looks quite nice, roof all wood lined, dash looks interesting

Now the interesting part.. it was at Lynford in osborne park, it was only traded yesterday or the day before. the blokes dont know anything about it or what to do with it.
I asked how much it'd likely go for and one bloke said probably $10,990. I told him he wouldn't get anywhere near that.. I said you could buy a good show van for $10k, but this one could probably be sold for around $5k. I said i'd spread the word as a few blokes are looking and then they said i'd get a finders fee if i send someone in that does buy.
So if anyone is interested, we can go in and you can have whatever they give me as a finders fee to reduce your bill a bit more.

What you'd want to do it fast talk them, they know NOTHING about it, they told me it goes hard because the bloke put in a 250 cross flow. i had a quick look in the dark, but it looks nothing like a cross flow, and everything like a 202.. hahaha

They wont know that disk brake fronts are desirable, they probably think it's standard. The diff was hard to see(it was in a dark corner) but looks like a hq diff.

Tell them the seats look a bit ratty(they're quite good), the sunroof looks liek it was filled with silicon, motor is leaking oil(very easy to fix), point out some rust spots(also not too bad) and you may be able to talk them down to $4k or less.

I was told it was probably traded in on the $5k minimum trade in deal, so it didn't really cost them $5k, they just reduced the price of the other sale by $5k after receiving this.

Anyway, i hope this is of use to someone. If i didn't have a van i'd consider it

i am super keen on checking it out MaTTe.
the pictures aren't showing up but it does sound pretty promising.
where abouts is it located?
from the description it is exactly what I'm looking for, cheers for the heads up.

any chance you can get the pics working?

[MaTTe]

the pics are working for me, have a look in my gallery if they dont work here.. they're in the random stuff album

Dave, i dont think it'd last long at 8-10k, its not a top quality show van, but it is very good none the less.

the biggest advantage for you blokes is that it hasn't been listed for sale yet, and most walk in buyers wouldn't be looking for a bedford

was built buy a guy in kalamunda spoke to him 8yrs ago at aqua world in hillries he wanted 16k for it and inside was grey carpet it was a 2pk paint job and hed done a fair bit to the motor, sold it on to a painter who was using it for work  iv followed it on the freeway a bit.

If they think it has been repowered by a crossflow why not ask if it is approved then use that as bargining power saying it needs an engineers cert for motor
you  could also point out discs and diff saying not standard needs cert!

put in an offer so we will see how we go. it would be nice to hear back from the guy tomorrow.
