The Van
Transit custom limited (Short wheel base) in chrome blue metallic.
Purchased by myself in July 2022 with 16000 miles on the clock. Prior to my ownership it was purchased by the previous owner as a dealership demo vehicle. This owner used it to transport his motorbikes and it was in brilliant condition inside and out. I then began converting the van in winter 2022 as well as using it as my daily vehicle.
Being the Limited model, the van benefits from air conditioning, apple car play (aftermarket wireless CarPlay adapter included), cruise control, heated windscreen, heated driver and passenger seats, automatic headlights and daytime running lights.
The van has MOT until November 2025 and full service history and has been serviced yearly in my ownership (not 2 yearly as recommended by the manufacturer) using genuine OEM oil. Most recent service carried out 21/11/24 (full service including oil, oil filter, fuel filter, pollen filter, cabin filter, air filter). Old oil was inspected during this service and no obvious signs of wet belt degradation yet, so not a job that needs doing imminently but would advise monitoring this during every service.
Interior is in great condition and seats have had seat covers on throughout my ownership. Have also used genuine rubber winter floor mats year round.
The Conversion
- Interior furniture supplied and fitted by “The Ply Guys” in Scotland. If you are unfamiliar with this company, check out their Instagram or website www.theplyguys.co.uk. The build quality is fantastic and super durable and they have long lead times for build slots. The units are extremely versatile and can all be removed by simple Allen head bolts in less than 10 minutes. I’ve tried to capture this in the photos, but checking out their website will give more detailed information. Although to summarise, the products installed in my van are the torridon bed unit, Clachan wheel arch unit, bruich beag kitchen unit, urlar floor, suiliven table with sequoia leg, losal lower bulkhead panel, genuine Harris tweed upholstery and hooks boards. All units and upholstery are in excellent condition as is hopefully clear on the photos.
- The Austops pop top was supplied and professionally installed by Custom Camper solutions in Market Harborough. Austops are one of the best and most reputable pop top manufacturers and CCS are one of their approved uk installers and suppliers. The pop top has the optional Bed kit + memory foam mattress, colour coded paint, colour coded canvas cover (harbour blue), scenic opening canvas, roof rack bars, led lights and led reading lamp. Again, this is a premium pop top with every possible option selected. The scenic opening is a really nice feature especially on a hot summers day to let the heat escape from the van!
- Rogue 16” alloy wheels and Ford centre caps with 225/70R16 Cooper Discoverer AT3 sport2 tyres. Rear tyres have approximately 6/7mm of tread left and fronts about 4mm.
- Additional external modifications include a genuine Ford trail front grill, metal lower side protection bars and a vamoose awning rail. I will include the stitches and steel awning shown in the photos that fits this rail with the van.
- Insulation – 35mm thermal fill polyester insulation in the walls and doors and 12mm dodomat thermal liner pro on the floor. Every panel also has sound deadening mats fitted.
- Windows (purchased from kiravans) have been installed on both sides of the van. The drivers side window is the opening type and the sliding door window is the fixed type.
- Electrical system. 12v system including lighting and USBs at various locations in the van and a 230v site hook up. The following items have been installed – 100AH AGM LP100 leisure battery (fitted in the spare battery tray under the drivers seat), Renogy back to back charger, Renogy battery monitor, Victron AC-DC charger, spot lights, reading lights, USB chargers, dimmable strip LED lights, main leisure battery isolator, 12v fusebox and 2x30a breakers. See photos for a clearer idea of the electrical install.
- Diesel heater – Vevor diesel heater fitted under the passenger seat. The heater itself is installed under the passenger seat, however all the ancillaries including fuel pump, air inlet, exhaust outlet are fitted externally underneath the van. The fuel line is connected to the main fuel tank via the heater blank on the sender unit, so no need to mess about having a separate fuel tank.
- Made to measure Thermal blinds for front main and side windows also included.
As you can see there is a lot to list and I think I have captured all the key features. For context on the asking price of the van, the ply guys kit, pop top and wheels alone cost more then £10,000. I have receipts to prove this and for everything else mentioned in this listing including £1000s in electrical conversion and other fitted extras.
Couple of small negative points worth mentioning…
Bodywork is showing a few age related marks, namely a couple of car park dings on the passenger side door where people have opened their doors onto the van. Happy to rectify these for the new buyer though if asking price is paid. Overall the bodywork is in good condition as evidenced by the photos.
Front windscreen has had a stone chip repair near the centre of the windscreen. Not something that bothers me but it is noticeable once pointed out (could get a replacement windscreen through insurance for less than £100 excess). Again, this could be rectified prior to sale if wanted by new owner.
Some areas of the carpet trimming on the rear doors aren’t perfect. This was due to trimming past the door seals and then the doors not closing properly. Had to cut back some of the carpet and it isn’t the neatest job. Only noticeable when rear doors are open. These could be re trimmed but never bothered me enough to redo the full doors.
To summarise, I am not in a rush to sell the van and am happy to wait for the right buyer. It offers a unique opportunity, particularly for somebody who wants the versatility of being able to remove the furniture and use it as a van, or ideal for transporting bikes or motorbikes. I have removed the left wheel arch unit and managed to fit my BMW R1250GS (very large motorbike) in the back on multiple occasions to road trip into the alps and the Pyrenees. This wouldn’t be possible with any other campervan set up. As a side note, the mileage will go up ever so slightly as the van is still in daily use.
I have tried to cover everything in detail, but feel free to reach out with any questions. Please no silly offers or time wasters as you will be ignored. Payment in person only after viewing the van. I’m confident the first to view will buy!
