"SYBHIL" & N0.1
I got more details. I have admired the walk thru and not seen one for sale in a couple of years; however I want to get the other two vans "up to par" before taking on another project.
Someone would get a cracker IMHO

It is not tax exempt and it doesn't run. We had it running on easy start a couple of years ago but we haven't really touched it since. You'd probably need to have the injection pump looked at.
It is all remarkably sound and, from a bodywork point of view, much easier (although bigger) to repair than a PB. The worst bit of rot is the rail above the rear rear doors, but it looks to be a fairly simple repair.
I would imagine that you would need to rebuild the brakes for the MOT, but I'm not sure what else. It is probably too big for your trailer, but I may be able to deliver with my truck if you're not too far away.
My landlord has offered £500 for it, but I would like a little more. I went to a great deal of trouble to save it from the crusher and I would like to see someone bring it back to life. Co-incidentally, we now have a mobile mechanic who comes around a couple of times a week and he has agreed to take a look at it when our more pressing jobs are out of the the way. We had considered dropping a Transit engine in it so that it could move about on the film-sets, but as there can't be more than a handful left, this probably wouldn't have been a good idea...

I'm pretty sure I sold this to filmpropman via ebay - would've been about 2/3 years ago...
bought it ebay myself to either do up or use for spares, but on seeing it put it straight back on ebay - decided having one project was quite enough.
if it is that one, i'm impressed they got it to run, since there were bits missing off it and a leaf inside on taking off the oil cap.
