If I were to tell you that I may be selling one (a Land Rover that is), would you be interested?

Fully kitted out with our system.

Need more info , what model , price , history etc
But to be honest I think I've found a good one.
What have you got?

It would be a 2003ish td5 110 and would look similar to:

That one is an ex scottish power so is a Land Rover Special Vehicle. It has the double chassis.

I have been thinking about taking our systems (7 years of development) to the market for a while now.

Thanks Paul

Depends how big a tank you wanted. You could get a 500l in but I would think you are going to be restricted when carrying poles.

Better with a 110.

What have you got?

If you were interested I would need to source the actual vehicle and kit it out. I don't actually have one for sale. Yet.

Post by: tompoole on January 29, 2013, 03:29:22 pm
its a good idea for you to do but im a landy nut and sourcing the 110 will be cheaper for me to do and kitting one out is a doddle , was just interested in what you were offering.

Post by: formb on January 29, 2013, 03:42:42 pm
No worries. Glad you have decided to get a proper vehicle again.  ;)

We have fitted out over a dozen Land Rovers with WFP so if you have any questions don't hesitate.

Did I push you over the edge Tom? Don't buy more than one!
Title: Re: 2011 transit forsale
Post by: tompoole on January 29, 2013, 05:23:16 pm
Tom , yes you did!!! I already have one landrover , but it's a
Rare camel trophy team car , and last year I had three different
Defenders sat on my drive so I thought I'd try and grow up
And buy a van , but the first dispatch was 2009 car and it fell to
Pieces !! The transit how ever is fit for purpose and a great van
BUT it's not a landy and you pushed the must have button!!!!!
So I'm looking at one on Sunday and ifs a good one ill buy it
And put it to work window cleaning :-)
Just need to sell the transit now , guess someone will get a bargin;-)

They go in the bed of the truck. Removed at night.

The T300 has a higher payload, I had the 2003 mwb fwd and the payload was 1250-odd kg

I remember the older shape 2000-06 shape T260 and T280's having much lower payloads, less than 900kg for the 260 and slightly more for the 280.

80 (T260) payload is 800KG
100 (T280) payload is 1000kg
120 (T300) Payload is 1200kg
150 (T330) Payload is 1500kg
190 (T350) payload is 1900 kg (LWB only)

That's interesting, I have a T280 SWB and it's payload is 1180kg so that list isn't correct in all circumstances.
