Race Transporter and Race / Rally Service vans

after some hours of TLC the Transit is transformed into this beauty boosting a V 6 2,9 EFI with a MT75 5 Speed long axle and brake disc replacing the rubbish drums on the front, sevearla new panels and a coating of paint now known as Olivia as all my mates call me the vegetable dealer with the nice shade of green

No 4: the new kid in the fleet a 1975 Opel Blitz with a long chassis , an UK built alloy box on the back, first was a furniture transporter then a Racecar transporter from some mates with DKW Juniors in and on the back till they stopped racing in 99 and left the Blitz in their garden till qwe struck a deal with them in 2019 it has had a lot of TLC adding a door in the side now converted to a Senator 3,0 EFi engine a 5 speed coming next week, the pictures speak for themselfs.

As purchased after surviving the elements for 20 years



3,0 EFI Senator engine conversion



Nearly rustfree cab replacing rotten old one very diffcult to find parts we have bought several donors for the parts



Now repainted and stickers on it based on the Surtees racing livery with the new door fitted and all the gadgets fitted inside and out.



First action at Spa with the A35 in the back and the Caravan on the back.

Not strictly a van, but I used it as one ( took out the back seat and put in a plywood floor)





And before the Escort I had this 127 Fiorino.

No, it was just a regular plain white Fiorino when I got it.

A buddy of mine painted it black for me, and we put stripes on it.

Hi all, just some news from the valley of tears, you have seen the news of what happened to us all here with all the horror. We have been busy saving our own place from the torential rain and floods then helping others like supplying elderly people with water, food and medicine in remote or cutoff areas of the Eifel, helping people salvage some things from the their ruined houses and garages, steam cleaning places after removing 10 cm of mud, supplying water for cleaning, pumping out cellars with our generators and pumps, getting JCB from other areas to help move the rubbish, we had to get fuel for all these things from far away. We now have water / power etc since Sunday other villages still have nothing. I am currently sitting in our Westy working from a hill as it has wifi. Family friends neighbors have all lost something one more one less. Our Range Rover and Transit have seen a lot of action and keep on running with supply service. Now we have to order stuff from 200 miles away. All the garages at the Nürburgring r changed to shelters for people and the Paddock is a supply area for the affected areas not far away.
Regards from the Eifel
