8 seater wanted

[scotty73]

Mate of mine in the Leicester area is looking for something new this is one he linked just now http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261166820091? ... 1438.l2649

The MOT is putting him off that one he's got about 800 saved at the moment was wondering if any of you have seen anything out there or maybe some tips on something better to go for?
cheers.

if hes going for smiley face transit,
have alook where the battery is and the iner arches also outer arches
they rot like feck,

we had one and it had to be weighed in because there wasnt nowt left to weld too, other than that it went round the clock 3 times brilliant engine

theres not much choice out there in 8 seats, mainly its all jap

avoid the serena's

the Elgrande is a good bus if you can find one they will run on veg too,

idunno if fiat do any 8 seaters buts thats what id look for, some are Xud powerd

You cann't talk him into a 7 seat 406? I've got one and it's very useful. Just a thought.

Yeh has lozz said if he wants a transit just look out for rust and on t'he bottom of t'he back doors but they go for ever ive grew up around them my dads always had them and i do a lot of work on them my ice cream van is a transit there easy to work on but dont no bout that auto 1 they ent many auto 1s about so if t'he box f*cks up it could cost abit

needs some work but ithink its worth its money http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1994-TOYOTA-P ... 460bf10b5b

350 cash is nothing for something heavy like a mpv, ithink there weighing in at 300 quid +
bargain seeing its taxed and tested,

the 1 with the knock from the front will be the front shock there known 4 it

[lozz]

not bad for there money idont think,

iwouidnt mind one for camping and stuff, ive no room for one tho,

yeah iagree there bad for shocks, but parts are cheap enough,


the white one is better coz its not got the daft column change,

What about an 806? Not sure how many seats though.

Cheers lads i'll show him this thread on facebook now, my first text back to him yesterday was how about a 7 seat 406 like mine but his wife (and him if you ask me) prefer to drive tanks

7 From what i just saw on the bay, i think he'd go for a 7 but in mpv form only.

[lozz]

if he only needs 7 seats,

the ford galaxy/ alhambra/ sharran is not a bad bus,
theyre going fairly cheap now too,

You can get them with 8. Instead of 2 rearmost seats they come with a bench.
