            A lot have added them later. Steveo for one so its not to much of a problem. Its not for me as I like the classic "surf bus" look but its all good.

              Not a bad van, would leave you a whole lot of change for a pop top and to do something with the interior but all the basics are done, not saying you should buy that van, just an example of what you can get for a lot less

                That's more like it.

                Regarding the first van - T4's got fully galvanised from 95 ish when they switched to the more rounded bumper. L reg vans tend to have a lot of rust - those that are left. Now, this may well be a minter with no rust, easy to get distracted by shiny paint. But it still wouldn't be a 10k van, wrong engine.

                And 25 year old engines don't smoke if they are running right.Probably just a poorly timed pump or a duff glow plug but if you owned a 11k van, surely you'd look after it?

                      Just done an mot history check and when he says there were no advisories that's because it failed first time round, obviously the works been done to pass without advisories, just saying !!!

                      Also looking back its had structure corrosion, so its definitely gonna need going over like Reg advised.

                      Not slating it as it looks lovely, just giving you advice mate [emoji1690]

                        Good detective work there... and all without even going to look at the vehicle.
