Can't be bad for the money Barry. God it looks in better nick and cleaner then my scorp (soon to be repaired and polished). :(

Have you bought it because when Ellie took you and the dog home from the pub YOU had to travel in the back of the van?

;D

Just could not resist, 19 years old 31,000 miles. Can't be many about, let alone with 30,000. And it does have genuine mileage, last owner had it ten years and did an av of 1500 a year :o I was prepared to pay a bit more (350 maybe) but no one else bid ::)

Trust you to get the bargains, Barry. No - actually - you deserve a slice of good fortune mate. ;)

Can we look out for the van on eBay? I, for one, would like to see you make a zonking profit on the deal :o

I think the van is about to become an expense of my business ;) Far to handy to get rid of it ::) But you never know ;D

Nice motor Barry. I had one exactly the same colour on a C reg 4x4. Excellent drive and so much smoother than the 2.9 which replaced it on the later D regs

Baz

PS,

Posted the parcel to you today by recorded delivery so may be there tomorrow or Monday

Hi Baz.... just a little info for you. The granada 2.8 rocker covers are alloy. I dont know why as they are steel in the capri 2.8. However....... capri boyz cry out for them and i used to sell a pair for around £80 and that was 8 years ago......... makes trhe car a little cheaper if you change them

Cheers Nick ;)

I only wish you had bought this a few weeks back, my Bro has just thrown out a complete set from his which were like new, and i mean like new. He had them for a while as we fitted a leather set from a Scorpio in his, he had had them advertised for a low price and had a few calls but no one ever turned up for them so he threw them in the end as he didn't have the room to store them.
