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

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Vamps is that your van in front of this one???????

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mk2-transit-panel-van-classic-ford/191407838869?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107083358%26meid%3D0f445adbbc13457abf4cf3d088768dd8%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D20140107083358%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D161474064093

Seems a bit of a coincidence, different seller though, apparently........ :-\ :-\

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
