Oh oh, looks like I have done it again!  Just bought this lovely! Rough as it looks, it's sound underneath due to being Ziebarted, and came with 2 free pintos, which is handy cos it's only got a 1.6!! I have already put her forward for a film part, they are looking for a rough van :roll: so with any luck might get some of me money back. |

Brilliant, always had a soft spot for the MK2.
My dad drove a single wheel tipper when he worked for Brightlingsea council in the 80's

No idea why, maybe the council were just cheapskates.
Not exactly unusual is it

Well in the 80s it was. Single wheels on the Mk2 had a lower carrying capacity, one ton in fact.

It only ever carried lawn mowers and bush clippings, I doubt it ever saw more than half a ton

Bad news, she lost out to a VW. Good news I think I will turn her into a police van for Ashes to Ashes.

I am in Norfolk and would have been interested but it looks like I am being made redundant so need to curb my fleet at the moment. Good luck with the van anyway.
