Any american car experts known?
« on: 20 January 2016, 17:53:24 »

I've been offered something monstrously big and impractical that's possibly a steal and may earn Mr Omegod a few quid but need to check pricing with someone in the know, all help appreciated

I drove a Ford Econoline van around Europe for a couple of years in a previous life.   8)  :y 

It was big, very comfy, towed anything effortlessly, but with a 6.8 ltr V10 it should have been called the Thirstoline:D  ;D

When in unfamiliar territory it was good practice to fill up whenever you saw a fuel station!  ::)  ;)

Last experience I had was one in the scrappy, just been wheeled in there. Bloke nattering and - indicating to some small surface rust on the sill - raised his boot and lightly knocked the offending sill. His foot went straight through almost to the ankle!

Actually, that was a Daewoo Matiz, now I come to think of it. A completely different car. Utterly. No similarities at all. None.  ;)

That was the 800cc, the 1ltr was four cylinder.  But you was lucky if you could keep that running on all 4  :)
