AI Listing Summary
This is a rare Mk I Transit van that was previously a camper but has been converted back to its original van specification. It features a 1,600cc Kent engine, replacing the original troublesome V4, and has seen recent work including a service, new water pump, alternator, battery, exhaust section, valence, headlamps, bezels and tyres.
