Sorry Elizabeth, don't live near Swinton (is that Manchester way?) . It looks tidy enough.....apart from that pop top canvas!

 

On that van its obviously had a recent respray as they have got it all over the breather pipes , the breather pipe that is not breathing anywhere anymore as it no longer tee's to the air filter, oh thats because the air filter is missing.

The cardboard pipes are also missing from the fan housing to the heat exchangers.

Something funny going on with the sliding door handle.

The roof canvas looks pants,

Why on earth have they sprayed all the air pipes and inner front panel in the cab etc black??

Whats going on with the fuel filler cap, looks still masked off in the photo from the respray.

The black plastic bits are missing round the cab door handles

Nice bit of overspray on the back tyre. Very school boy

There is a few things to think about . A lot are small things but looks like a quick paint, front seats recovered and new door cards then flog on quick. Couldn't even wait till finished to take the photos

 

Just from the first picture the cab door is a poor fit, the gaps are all over the place, and the sliding door looks awful at the bottom fitwise. It actually looks all wonky.
If it's been serviced and set-up to a high standard why is there no air filter?
Like Mick says above it looks like its had a quick makeover to flog asap.

 

I wasnt sure about the sliding door, wasn't sure if not shut properly, hard to see from photos

 

It appears to be shut at the top but not necessarily at the bottom

 

Front door gaps are due to the front panel being replaced badly probably. it has the bulge in it so not original.

 

Walk away - if it was half the price maybe!

 

Fuel filter just shoved onto fuel hose. Can't see any clips. High risk of fire.

 

Hahaha you lot are wicked nerds
This is what a forum is all about

 

Wow! You are a sharp eyed lot, I'd missed all those faults.

 

Beware the spray and sell brigade

 

You've put me off .... Thank you all you experts xx

 

Looks like the one that was on here for sale

 

What?Even that pop top canvas?!!!!

 

Sorry if I wasn't going away tomorrow I'd have gone to see that for you.

 

I thought that too. Even quotes TLB in the advert.

 

Remember him getting a bit arsey

 

Was it the mint condition add ?
