Express for sale
There's a yellow 145 Express on ebay, a running project, says. Needs wheel arches, etc. Engine bay looks tidy. Over priced at 6.5k?

The 'Express' was in essence a semi-commercial version of the 145 which wasn't, as far as I know, generally imported into the UK. The most notable difference being a higher roof-line. To some, it's rarity in the UK could well justify a price premium over a regular 145. Whether that also means that it is overpriced is for prospective purchasers to decide.
Regards, John.

It looks to be pretty rusty.

It's a left hand drive so will be an import, no number plates so may not be registered here. The seller doesn't say where the barn was! £6.5 does seem like a lot, you could probably buy a better one elsewhere in Europe and import it for less.

In their home country they were only considered as vans, so their life expectancy was very reduced. Most were thrashed to death.
You try finding an early Ford Transit here now - and you will appreciate the asking price of this Express. My Ford Thames camper (Transit predecessor) was near worthless in 1966: there are just a handful left now so the one I saw for auction recently was up for nearly £10k. That ensures only genuine enthusiasts will consider buying. P |
