1960 THAMES Freighter 800 VAN rare English Ford Panel mini bus clear title

Here is a rare panel Van made by THAMES (English Ford) called a Freighter 800. It has a clear Wyoming title in my name. It has an 84" wheelbase and sports the original 1703 cc 4 cylinder engine (55 hp) and 3 speed column shifted synchromesh trans. I have the ignition key. It has independent front suspension (A arms) and a leaf spring regular rear end similar to the Ford Econoline vans. The engine is free, but I did not attempt to start it. It sat outside for many years in Colorado, so needs fuel system checked, brakes rebuilt, and all you would do to start such a project after sitting so long.

Front windscreen is cracked, rest of glass is good. Of course rubber parts are not good. There is one rust spot in rear cargo floor near pass door about 2" long by 1" wide. The front floors have rust but would be easy to fix. Each lower cowl down near front bumper has rust on outside skins (see close up pics of each side). There is one large dent on lower driver panel 1/2 way back (see discolored area in pics). Some other small dents to fix, nothing bad. Original plywood cargo floor in good shape. Yellow color was original paint. I have included pic of headliner, glove box and driver door panel....these are not in good shape but can use for patterns.

Van is in Encampment Wyoming just 4 hrs from Denver and 1 hour south of Rawlins near I 80...zip 82325. I can maybe deliver if not too far (email for quote). $500 non refundable payment due immediately via Paypal once auction ends, rest is by Bank Transfer only (or balance in person before van leaves). I will take Paypal if you cover their high fees for me to receive monies. It has no brakes and transport is up to you to arrange but I can be here when they load it. All 4 tires hold air.
