MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
My first car was a Peugeot 305 van, and my second, third, fourth and fifth before graduating to rear windows with a 205.
Every so often I have a peek on ebay to see if there's still any around, not that I have any desire to buy one.

Note the passenger seat removal mod 😆

I had two of those vans and loved them. 4 engines between them tho 🙁
Probably his collecting/moving bodies one rather than his day of the funeral one, but even so, still the worst hearse ever.
Nice! Odd thing is that it's located in Market Harbourgh which is a really affluent area. Don't see heaps like that driving around, especially not when being used as a hearse.
I'm surprised he's got a bid of 415 for that ancient, shagged van.
hmmmmm

Self moderated on the grounds of taste.
There used to be a Mini Estate (old type) painted matt black and with pet funerals badly stencilled down the side in Sydney.

£415 does seem a bit stiff. I suppose someone was dead keen to buy it.
Yeah but look at the listing - the tax has expired and the gearbox is knackered, probably the mortal coil.
hmmmmmm

wombat, the body looks rough as. Crusty tailgate (ahh brings it all back!) , several bashes, well used bumpers when bumpers were REAL bumpers. I can smell the holes in the footwells and sills just by looking at the pics.
Most of mine had knackered gearboxes when I bought them (synchro gone) and a gear linkage which was errr 'loose' .
They never seemed to actually get worse though. I suspect some of them just came from the factory like that.
Another serial engine swapper here. Those alloy heads weren't really up to the abuse dished out by a lead footed yoof, especially when you boil it and then fill with cold water from the nearest burn 😳
They do bring a flood of happy memories when I see one now, tho it's getting to be a very rare thing.
