    Gearbox Included

    V5 In My Name – currently on SORN.


    6 Figure Number plate which I think is quite cool. KUT @@L

    This is obviously a project but a lot of the hard work has already been done


    Bus is on its wheels and rolls and steers , but will obviously need a trailer to transport it .

    I also have a frame on swivel wheels , ramps and a winch which gets the whole bus off the ground and allows easy movement , it is about as wide as the bus and is essential for wheeling it around easily.
    This is available separately or as part of a deal.


    Looking to get some money back on this , I realise that I am loosing a small fortune in parts that I bought and the time that I have already invested in this but realise that I will never get the time to finish this which is a shame .

    I don't know what the whole lot is worth so I'm open to sensible offers .

    Any questions please ask , or call me on 07988 648006 anytime . No texts please.

    Photos show the bus in various stages , the attached image is the most recent as are the images of the rear inner valance .

    £ 2995.00 but open to sensible offers as i don't know what it's potentially worth.

    Need a price please.

    You must know what it’s worth to you and what you would let it go for. I mean £500 isn’t going to buy it is it?

  3. I've probably got more than 4K in it easily but realise it's probably not worth that .
    I'd like to get as much as i can for it , whilst making it viable for someone.
    I don't know the current market value of the bus but could work out the cost of parts included i guess.
    You guys are the experts , not me.
     
  4. I've added a price mate .

  6. Sorry , i didn't want to put a price that would get laughed at , i genuinely don't know the value . I just want it to go to a good home for a fair price.

    At least you have given them a starting point now. Potentially it’s worth more to someone who is prepared to put the time money and effort in, but as you say, it’s probably going to fetch less.

    I’d eBay it and take some better pictures for the best price
