SUMMARY
Wonderfully restored, very low mileage, Ford Transit LWB directly from the personal collection of Mike Brewer.
DESCRIPTION
- The subject of a wonderful restoration during Season 17 of Wheeler Dealers, Elvis converted this rarely used Mark1 Transit from left to right-hand drive
- Fully restored, the van was then sold during the show but Mike, as is oft the case didn't want to let it go
- Borrowing the vehicle for a feature show at the NEC some years later, he wrestled with the owners to let him keep it for a substantial profit on their investment
- When a very similar, nicely restored, twin-wheel Mk 1 sold at Iconic Auctioneers some time afterwards for over £60,000, Mike knew he had done the right thing
- He had no intention of selling the Transit but a rather exciting (and probably expensive) project is on the horizon so a bit of space needs to be created and he has agreed to give us the chance to offer this great van on his behalf

Remarks
Fully restored by Mike and Elvis during the TV Show, the van was originally a German Fire Service vehicle, converted LHD to RHD by Elvis. It has been confirmed that the odometer shows only around 18,000kms which is warranted
