Looking for Terran SWB van.

[Stuarty]

Hi Guys been a long time since i have been the owner of a terrano, i am thinking about gettinfg a SWB terrano van in the near future.

I have a Sogun 3.5 gdi SWB warrior with 89k on a 2003 plate in good nick apart from missing a side step/ running board (hopefully have this refitted soon) she has MOT to jan 15 and is currently taxed (im away just now but can find out when its due if need be). Have spent alot on it recently but need to get somthing a bit more economical. Im looking for iro 3k or would do a swap with the right van :thumbs

Any questions please feel free to ask,

Cheers,

Stuart.

You and me both mate :thumbs

I've got a 3dr Maverick at the moment that I DIY converted into a commercial and I loved it, there's no way I could go back to a standard SWB, and I'd never entertain the idea of the LWB as I don't like how long they are and couldn't justify a car of that size just to carry round me an occasional passenger and a few tools every now and again with.

Unfortunately my Maverick was smashed into whilst on the way to the Isle of Wight by a big lorry while I was stationary in standstill traffic and my insurance company are writing it off

I read through your nightmare earlier not good! Least your ok thats the main thing at the end of the day :thumb2,

The wee van would be my second car mainly for taking fishing and pulling a small trailer and taking me to and from the heliport, not sure what to go for 2.7 or 3.0? there are a few on autotrader/ebay but they are a bit rough! How was yours on diesel, i used to like the LWB huge boot but thirsty and as you say its a bit big just for tooling around in

How much of a hurry are you in?
I might have mine up for sale, I've just about got my boss convinced to get me a new shogun commercial swb.
I had a blue 55 plate SWB 3.0 van for a bit, was handy inside but bloody nightmare at junctions when you would look over your shoulder out the rear window.
I now have an 06 plate SWB 3.0 but have the rear seats folded down 95% of the time as a van. Tinted windows at back.
I love the 3.0 although heavy on fuel it's just never ending torque, although 2.7 does run on veggie fuel if your into that. Pulls my tipping trailer fine and I was just fishing on the Spey last week too.

Not in a great hurry tbh just looking at the moment what mpg do you get from the 3.0?, forget the car talk did you catch anything? the Spey is on my list of rivers to fish I mainly fish the north Esk :thumb2 where you based I'm just north of Montrose.

Fishing, a 16lb pound and a 17lb last week on the Spey, there was 12 fish caught on that run that day.
My dad is a Gillie on the Spey too, just south of Aberlour.
Me, I'm just outside Elgin.
I'm driving Elgin to Inverness every day along A96, be about 30mpg tops - if you drive it like a neep, 24mpg.
A full tank will see me 480miles - can't quite get to the 500 mark.

Well done thats a bit of a red letter day that! :clap iv only had one this season, thats pretty impresive mpg what kind of money you looking for when you sell?
