Description
It is not a stretch to say that I believe this to be the best overland camper/adventure vehicle currently on sale in the UK.
The vehicle has a full Ford main dealer service history and currently shows a little over 37K miles on the clock.
The first upgrade was the addition of Pedders heavy duty rear springs (suspension) to support the additional weight added over the rear axle from the upgrades I had planned. The cost was 500.
