what sort of mileage?  Friend of mine has one on 250,000 miles and its still going strong.

Hey Eggs, Look at 814D, lots of variations from mini buses to recovery trucks depends what you want, just as reliable in every way, few more about than 811D so makes them slightly cheaper too, just avoid any that have been used as horse transporters! They carry the usual wee wee corrosion and general neglect that horse owners give ( the major lack of spending on maintenance / upkeep ) worked on a lot of horseboxes and can honestly say i wouldnt want to recommend any for resale, even the ones at 5 or so years old. Good luck tho [emoji106]

The 814's look to be making strong money. £6k, really?

Was this the one you missed by any chance? It’s a small world after all.

No. The one I was interested in is the link on page 2 of this thread.

Anyway, I got an 811.

Top bus that! (Pardon the pun) proper insulation job is the key to converting, will do 10 times the mileage it has on it with no bother, regular oil changes [emoji6][emoji108]
