⭐ Welcome to the sale of this 2001 44 former fire service vehicle. A fantastic opportunity to own a classic and very rare model of Ford Transit, with just 2 keepers from new and only 17,000 miles! ⭐
MOT Status ✅
This vehicle has a valid MOT until 11/09/2023, and a 100% pass rate with no advisories whatsoever.
Service history ✅
Please contact us directly if you require the service history for this particular vehicle and we will do our best to acquire it for you from the previous council.
Bodywork and Cosmetics ✅
The bodywork on the van is fantastic for a vehicle of this age; a result of extremely good care and very low mileage. The paintwork is in pristine condition, with no signs of rust or cosmetic damage at all. The vehicle is structurally sound and runs sweetly, starting first time, every time. The 44 qualities of this transit are brilliant, with quality tyres on and high arches to ensure all terrain can be covered with complete ease. All lights including emergency blues are still working on this vehicle, although these will have to be decommissioned before it is driven on the roads unless purchased for the fire service again. It has been taken excellent care of in its former life and now with us, at Basevan.
Interior and Cab ✅
Both the interior and the cab of this van are very clean and have a fair amount of space. It currently has a drivers seat and two passenger seats fitted in the cab, with three more passenger seats behind. The seats themselves are in excellent condition, there are no tears to any of the upholstery or any missing buttons, which is so often found in second hand vehicles. This is a consequence of good maintenance, respect taken by the previous occupants and the respectable mileage on the van. The interior roof and sides of the vehicle are all carpet lined and have been kept in great condition. The vehicle can be accessed via the front drivers and passenger doors to the cab, the side loading door to the back passenger seats or the 3 seats of roller shutters at the sides and rear of the vehicle.
More About this Vehicle ✅
This beautiful example of a classic fire service vehicle comes fully supplied with all of the spare wheel changing equipment. It is 3850kg so will need to be driven on a C1 license or you must have passed your test before January 1997. With the 44 setup, this vehicle is extremely capable and will not be beaten by any terrain. It may not be the most typical van for a camper conversion, although we would be very excited to support someone with big dreams through this process! It could be ideal for outdoor activities, fitting a roof rack on the top, and storing equipment for climbing, walking etc in the rear area of the vehicle, with enough room to transport passengers to remote locations for some fantastic experiences and adventures. It would also be fairly easy to fit another row of seats in the back of the vehicle to transport more people on or off road if this is something you are looking for. It could also be used for the movement of dogs for training purposes in remote areas too. Alternatively, we are happy to sell back to the emergency services as the low mileage and solid structure of this vehicle would be an asset to any team. If you have big or quirky dreams then this is definitely a Basevan to own the keys for! The possibilities for this vehicle are absolutely vast and we would love offer a hand through this process. We can not wait to see what you do with this fantastic and incredibly rare beauty!
