Free to a good home

We have recieved an email from Peter offering his beloved Bedford up for free to "a good home or
enthusiast in the user group".

The Bedford van goes well, has a little body rust .

The Van is located in the Clovelly in Sydney.

PM me for contact info.

*Update

The "Wombat" is still available, several people have expressed interest so it may not last to long.

PM me for Peter's contact info.

I expressed my keen interest in acquiring this van - BASED ON THE PHOTO'S above...
The photo's must have been taken at least 10 years ago  :o :o :o

I had a look at the van tonight and it is VERY RUSTY, it looks like it could be TERMINAL - the rust is extensive.

I have already expressed my keen interest in the van but now that I have seen what it REALLY looks like
I think I will contact the owner and tell him that I am no longer interested, I couldn't take on a project
like that - far too much rust and far too much work needed to get it back on the road.

Anyone thinking about this van - it is definitely not roadworthy and it needs a lot of work to get it roadworthy.
It has extensive rust in the gutters, windscreen, front doors, rear barn doors, door handles, around the wheel arches etc.
I didn't look inside but due to the pop top roof, I am concerned that the roof and interior could also be water and rust effected.

Sorry I couldn't get any pictures I didn't have the camera with me.

While the van may be FREE to a good home, be mindful that it is on the doorstep of "beddy heaven".

Cheers

Jock

Thanks Jock for the report

I only had Peters description and the photos to go by, so your eyeballing it and giving an honest oppinion is great
