I've not long picked up my new ride.
W reg Ex-riot police Transit.
Not really the normal sort of ride for a PistonHead perhaps? Well, this one's for towing my trackbikes to the racetrack, so I think it qualified smile
Just spend some time and money sorting the interior and getting the diff reconditioned, but I'm a happy shopper as it still has the Eberspacher night heater, a dirty great step and tow-bar and the "cell" bulkhead is still in there, so I've got a secure cargo area.

As it arrived:


And with the DIY improved ineterior.



The whole thing, including reconditioning the diff and kitting out the interior came in at not that much more than the heater is worth, so I can't really complain smile

Well, it is unusual, I'll give you that.

But if it serves a purpose, all is well.

I love vans, when I used to work for a VAG dealer the 'races' from the storage yard to the dealer were always most fun in vans.
