This is my little sooty van,that i drive between driving the montego's!!  I bought it completely out of character,after watching that episode of top gear,where richard hammond flipped one!! ;D So,after much cleaning (don't have any before pictures ),and doing the head gasket,oil ,filters,points,fitting different seats,stereo,etc,etc,it now ready for sale.     Any thoughts???.......  |

Funny you should say that,that was my original plans to paint it like the A-team van,,cant afford to go down the "ninja" route,but my brother wants to,as he's good with the welder,fabrication,etc.... Still,it a laugh with the standard 40 hp!!! ;D I wizz past the police ,without the ninja lump!!  ;D |

Chocolate cams!!! ;D Being a motorcycle mecahnic by trade,I'm smitten by all kawasaki's ,having had the usual gpz,zx,and zzr models But all bikes are good,being japanese,its down to personal choice. Nothing wrong with suzuki though,probably part the reason this little bedford has lasted 20 years. It being vauxhall/bedford would have rotted after 2 years!!!  |

why fit a puny no torque expensive no reverse gear bike lump when theres loads of room for proper engines in these? its a van, make a hole behind the front seats and drop whatever you like in there, there used to be a bimmer 6 pot one running at the pod.

My dad loves, em, he's always got lots hanging around, personally i avoid them like the plague if i can as there curse word all room for big feet like mine and my knees are allready bad enough without the prospect of using them as my crumple zone.

Super cool, though my personal preference would have to be stick a bed in the back and go to sleep at the lights.
I've got a newer one for work and i've had the odd bid on the danbury versions on the bay, one day I might even win one.
