   This campervan was stolen from Leeds a few days ago..it never returned from the test drive. It's rare 2.0 pinto petrol model, most were diesel. If you can see under the bonnet the egr valve & air flow meter are new, more noticable are the new front roof skylight & the towbar plug in is damaged. Probably stashed somewhere so i know it's a long shot but if you even think you've seen it please phone the seller on the listed no. or call your local police.
    The seller has given me permission to post all above details.
   Hope you are all well, Guy.

Smells like a Pikey ripoff to me, chances are he will never see it again :(
Hope i'm very wrong though! :)

A rust free MK4 Transit should stand out like a sore thumb :-\

Hope it comes back in one piece...

So the seller let some potential buyers take it for a test drive on their own?  ::)

And surmising from that that he did not arrive in a vehicle, which should have raised alarm bells, we can say what we like, but the owner obviously fell for whatever story was told, and I suggest, not insured for such a loss..... :( :(

Happened to one of my then neighbours years back - he lost a fairly new 1200cc bike.  Remember him standing at the front of his house looking optimistically up the road for a couple of hours.  Dipstick  ::)
