You'll end up paying import duty and VAT on top of the purchase price?  ;)

The add suggests it is the UK.......................... :D :D

TBH it may be Ford that have buggered things, the body suggests MK2 Transit; but the Dash looks like it is a MK 1................ :-\ :-\

"Impecable condition throughout" :o ::)
Given the state of Maltese roads, the way they drive over there & the fact that 'repairs/maintenance' are done on the fly with whatever is to hand, that old bus is going to need some serious tlc to the suspension at the very least! ;D
If he knocked the odd Grand off the price it may be a worthwhile 'Project' :-\

Maybe it was different in Malta, at the time of the launch of the MK2 Transit I had a Company MK1 Van and got one of the First MK2's in the Country, we specifically waited for it! I was working for 'Andrews Heat for Hire' at the time.............. :y :y

On further investigation I would say the same, although different locations the description gives it away - the way it is written, imho. This van shows the dash and is what I remember the dash of a MK2 Transit, very different to the one I posted........ :y :y

Original ad says first van is located in Sheerness, Kent, and has been imported from Malta.

Second ad is for a different van, shown parked behind the first van... wonky, tinted rear lights give it away... and is located in Queesborough, Kent, which oddly enough is a suburb of... Sheerness ::)

My guess would be that one or more people have chipped in to ship a load of relatively unrusty classics over from Malta :-\ Whether this is good or bad is anyones guess...

Well they got £2650 for the red one.  So knock off say a grand for shipping and that could be a nice little profit if they bought them for peanuts in Malta or had owned them over there for some time.  :y
