Hello and welcome to the sale of this incredible Ford Transit. Purchased new from Edwards Ford of Salisbury in 2002, by a gentleman with small specialist book trading business, he clearly cared for it very well and used it very lightly, covering an unbelievably low 59k miles in 22 years! It was originally registered in the business name, then later in his name, then his wife's name. Incredibly it has 21 local Ford main dealer stamps in the service book, with supporting invoices, the most recent being January 2024!
I have had the entire van professionally valeted and machine polished, and the original steel wheels professionally refurbished in metallic silver. The paintwork appears largely original, with a deep shine and no heavy marks or damage. The wheel arches, step areas and panels are free from the usual corrosion often associated with older commercial vehicles. Under the bonnet is equally as clean. The cab interior is absolutely superb, with no rips, tears or bad odours. The seats, trims and dashboard are all free from damage and are very much representative of the mileage. There is a radio fitted, other than that the simplicity is refreshing with wind up windows and not much else to go wrong! In the rear it still sports it's original ply lining, which is in lovely clean condition having never carried anything more than a few books.
On the road it drives exceptionally well, with positive brakes, steering and suspension with no untoward knocks or bangs. The renowned 2.4 turbo diesel engine fires up straight away, ticks over nicely and produces adequate power with smooth delivery through the 5 speed manual gearbox. Classic commercial vehicles are always popular and this would no doubt make a perfect addition to a nostalgic fleet. To sum up, this is a unique opportunity to secure an exceptionally low mileage, low owner, desirable Ford Transit in the best possible condition, and I am sure the new owner will be very pleased. No VAT to pay. Part exchange considered and nationwide delivery available.
