As Big Traillee became big van owners club, first dibs on my van to anyone here.

It's a white Ford Transit 330 100Ps short-wheelbase but high roof. This is the rear-wheel driver version and has bigger than usual transit wheels.

it's 2007 model. Mileage is short of 105,000. It has an MOT until April 2016 and I have a bag of old MOTs, the V5 in my name. I've not spared a penny on it as I needed it for work and it has taken me to shows from Edinburgh to Hastings. I have replaced the indicator bulbs that had clear ones when they should have been orange, I replaced the alternator and starter motor. I have just put new wiper blades on. It starts and drives perfectly.

I have two electronic keys that work the alarm and door locks (only one petrol cap key though as the local key cutter didn't have one to cut and as my wife and I were always together on trips this was never a problem).

The only issues I am aware of is the cab light not working, but I drove in the dark so rarely it never bothered me (it might just need a bulb), there is a nick in the windscreen that was there when I bought it and doesn't get in the way, and one of the two ciggie lighter sockets does not work. There is the ever-present ciggie burn in the driver's seat - before my time I assure you.

The rear is boarded out and has a sliding door between the rear and the cab.

The rear has two decks of LED lights fitted, giving excellent illumination. The floor has holes drilled and the roof has two vents so if you put the bike in wet it dries quickly, without making the back damp.

I have had fitted a pukka disabled ramp. There is a small winch that will pull in my Africa Twin no problem. You could ride a small bike up without the winch.

The ramp legs can be adjusted. In the video you can see I have them set so a piece of wood goes under - this was because we unloaded and loaded on soft ground a lot and the wood stopped the two feet sinking in the mud.

It's not being used now so it's yours if you want it. There are more pictures on Flickr.

I'm looking for £6K

There's enough room for you to easily stand on the ramp so why the winch? Would it not be easier to start the bike and drive it up? (standing next to it like you did in the video).

Looks a tidy van though. GLWTS.
