Are you retiring Ken ?

for those of you who dont know Ken, I would suggest everthing he has mentioned would be in tip top condition, and I dare say the mentoring from ken his self will be an avalanche of knowledge.

If your retiring Ken!!!!  good luck in your retirment, or are you going on board the CLEAN asc.?

Thank's for your kind words Geoff.

I am not retiring. As you know, I'm now van mounted. I need a bigger van!  I've also got a mountain of kit that is rarely used and the Suzuki needs a bit more space in the garage (got to get my priorities right).

It just seems like a great opportunity to clear some space, generate a little cash, get a bigger van and give a newbie a great start to the best job in the world.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

I agree with geoff - the 'Mentoring' would be worth that alone!

It's a toss-up at the moment between a Citroen Relay or a long wheelbase Dispatch, or Peugot variants.

Hi Anthony

I'm only looking to sell the complete package. If there are no takers, and I do appreciate that it is quite a big package so may prove to be a little high investment wise for a new startup,  then I will only sell the van. I will not consider breaking the equipment down into smaller lots.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

Here's a picture of the van and kit. The Victor twin motor vac is missing so you will see a little of it in the accompanying picture.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

Something to consider with the Relay or simular are that they are quite wide for going on some domestic drives but I have a Fiat Ducato and it drives better than my transit.
