I ran an Escort Van for 6 years, only got rid when changed to WFP.
was an ex post office, great van, cheap as chips reliable, cheap parts and service.
Just make sure you change cam belt, every 30,000 or so, its a MUST!
other than that brilliant little van.
This one looks a bit too good to be true, age and condition ect. Personally I'd have the AA or some other organisation look it over mate just to be on safe side.
Good luck
