I DON'T KNOW WHETHER ANYONE WILL BE INTERESTED, BUT WE ARE SELLING OUR MINIBUS, WHICH WE HAVE HAD FOR FIVE YEARS.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS NHS TRUST, WHO OWNED THE VEHICLE FROM NEW.

WE HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ON THIS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED REGARDLESS OF COST.

IT IS AUTOMATIC, HAS POWER STEERING, FIVE NEW TYRES,NEW BATTERY, NEW RADIATOR, NEW SWIVEL FRONT SEATS.IT HAS A RIKON WHEELCHAIR LIFT WHICH WE HAVE JUST HAD SERVICED. THIS LIFT WE HAD FITTED AT A COST OF £3000. IT HAS UNWIN TRACKING WITH ALL CLAMPS FOR WHEELCHAIR.

IT IS ALARMED, HAS CD/RADIO, SUNVISOR, REAR SPAREWHEEL CARRIER.

THE REASON FOR RELUCTANTLY SELLING IT, IS I CAN NO LONGER BEND DOWN TO DO THE WHEELCHAIR CLAMPS UP, ALSO FIND IT TOO BIG FOR ME TO KEEP CLEAN.

FANTASTIC MINIBUS, LOTS OF USES. WE ARE LOOKING FOR BETWEEN
£1500 - £2000

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.

Sorry I can't use it, but good luck with the sale Woody What will you get next?

[WOODY]

STEPHENO, WE HAVE BOUGHT AN EX LONDON TAXI. IT IS A METROCAB WHICH ARE COMPLETELY ACCESSIBLE FOR A WHEELCHAIR.

THEY ARE ALSO ALL FIBREGLASS, SO NO RUST PROBLEMS. THEY HAVE ALL TRANSIT RUNNING GEAR, 2.5 DIESEL ENGINE AND AUTO GEARBOX. IT IS A 1999 WITH 197.000
ON THE CLOCK, WE HAVE THE COMPLETE SERVICE HISTORY, AS IT WAS OWNER DRIVEN FROM NEW.

SOUNDS A LOT OF MILES BUT THESE GO ON FOR EVER. WE HAD A FAIRWAY TAXI ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO THAT HAD 345,000 ON IT AND WE WERE TOLD THAT WAS JUST RUN IN.

A TAXI GARAGE THAT USED TO SERVICE IT, HAD A CABBIE GO TO THEM THAT HAD ONE THE SAME YEAR AS OURS, HAD A MILLION MILES ON IT AND WAS STILL IN SERVICE AS A TAXI.

THEY ARE GREAT, YOU JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO PEOPLE JUMPING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO STOP YOU, PEOPLE TRYING TO GET IN THE BACK WHEN YOU ARE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND PEOPLE ASKING FOR DIRECTIONS.

LOL Woody, but that sounds neat, a taxi is a cool car to drive plus you can make some extra on the side (does the light work?)

[silkstone]

That sounds great, Woody. I always fancied a taxi - and it's about the only British car you can still get.

Hope you find a home for the minibus - it looks in good condition.

[WOODY]

JACK, THE LIGHT DOES STILL WORK, BUT UNFORTUNATELY NO METER, THEY ARE REALLY GREAT VEHICLES, IT IS AN EIGHT SEATER AS WELL, SIX SEATS IN THE BACK ONE PASSENGER SEAT IN THE FRONT, PLUS DRIVERS SEAT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THESE TO ANYONE.

SILKSTONE, AS YOU SAY THEY ARE THE ONLY TRUE BRITISH VEHICLE MADE NOW,BUILT TO LAST. CHEAP PARTS, CHEAP TO REPAIR. INSURANCE ONLY £220 FULLY COMP.

Used to drive one years ago, you can turn them on a sixpence.
But the one I drove was as noisy as hell

[WOODY]

TOWERSHOT, WITH MY WIFE SHOUTING AT ME, THROUGH THE INTERCOM
I DON'T REALLY NOTICE THE NOISE FROM THE ENGINE

LOL Woody, hope you find a buyer for your Minibus
