Tam and Toby ~~ Hunting Zorba .....Take two.

Well thats handy i thought id ask the bus seller if he had a driver that could deliver it and they've replied saying yes ...they can deliver it start of march for £200 to cover fuel and drivers wage.
Pretty good as it would probably cost me that in train fare and fuel to collect it myself .
So will just see how the auction goes now

 

[fat haggis]

Good news mate. Are you getting it delivered to your mums place

 

[Raul]

Now he knows you gonna go for it, he will get he’s mates to bid you up. Set a limit and place the bid in the last 20-30 seconds. Do not put to many bids before that. It’s a give away that you’re after it. This technic works for me.

 

[fat haggis]

Don’t put any bids in till the last minute. But you already know that

 

[Northernraider]

Yeah that would be the plan

Guys ...ive bought and sold over 700 vehicles i already know the most id pay for it regardless of how much it goes for.
I never bid early ...its one bid only and if i get it i get it if not someone's paying more than its worth

Could you drive it if it is registered as a PSV? delivery might be the best option.

I think up to 7.5 tonne yeah i can as i have d1 category on licence aswell as c1
But if i win it then at £200 it makes sense to have them deliver it anyway
Cant register it as camper etc till its been converted

Well it was often way more than that some years and far far less the last 5 or 6 years. But i had more than 1 or 2 vehicles at a time.
When i decided to sell the house and go fulltime i had 3 cars a small van a vw camper and 2 motorbikes all on road and taxed and insured at the time

I only have the 2 vehicles at the moment but im suffering withdrawal symptoms

 

[mitzimad]

Not got anyone who can do that unfortunately.

does the seller not know a local recovery company?

 

[Razamataz]

Tam,there is another van in Carlisle £8000 twice the money but 1/4 of mileage!?

What one is that?

Edit

Im guessing you mean this one

Its fugly
Problem with most buses like this one ...they will always look like a bus due to the custom body , that daft bit above the cab , the weird door etc

Whereas this one im interested in

Well that started off just a regular van body with windows cut in .....which means i can remove them and plate steel the holes back to a plain van body.


And make it like this minus the windows

Your joking , he’s Scottish

 

[Northernraider]

So heres a few pics of last night's stop ...i had hoped to put the drone up here as its quite a lovely spot with a lot of history and the pics from the ground don't really do it justice ....but its just so windy im not risking it.

 

[Razamataz]

[Val 3 dogs]

Congratulations Tam? Nice one! Is poor Mam going to have to put up with this on her drive now or have you got a barn or storage unit somewhere you could use?

 

[Mikey RV]

Ill be looking in to renting a barn or workshop i think

 

[Val 3 dogs]

Good thinking, i would imagine there might well be some smaller units available on smaller industrial sotes away from the bigger towns. Good luck

Should read "sites" not sotes.

Yeah ive a couple of mates who rent old mine buildings not too far from me so ill do a few enquires

Don't want anywhere to expensive but a roof and electric supply would be handy ill sort something when im back

 

[Northernraider]

Once that nasty bodykit is removed and all those windows it will look a different beast indeed.

 

[Figaro]

Nice one the picture you posted of the one done up looked amazing, a proper beast.
