    I have posted this over on the classic car forum also....


    i have a 1980 ford transit camper van.
    i bough it some time ago intending to restore it, i havnt had the time to do much to it so its just sitting there.
    Im contemplating finding it a new home.
    It needs some work, New Door, bonet, door sill steps and some rust around arches, engine and gearbox are good....but realy its a project.
    The interior is tidy and the pop top roof works well.
    So what i want to know is....whats it worth roughly and is there a market for it?
    Cheers.

    Can you post some pics of it?

    There's a market for everything these days. What its worth would really depend. Look around on done deal and a few places and get an idea of what ones that are in good shape cost and it'll give you an idea of the value of it.

    From what you've described I'd say clean her up as best you can and put her on donedeal for about a grand.....
    There's a good few old ford enthusiasts out there who may be interested.

    I bought our old 1982 transit back in the good times for that much and it needed about the same sort of work. It needs more now but that's on going!:)

    If you're putting it on donedeal, put it on both campervans and classics (if you can). That way you'll catch the classics heads and the camper types. We were looking for an older VW, and it took us a while to cop that they came up on both.
