There are a few around, if you could afford another grand you'd be fine, but I should think you'll get something half decent.  Have a search around, a couple of us chipped in to another recentish thread with pointers on where to look and what to look for.

If it's any good, that's great value, J - not many about for that money.

I'll let you know Sunday!...
Apparently the 101 is in good condition & runs sweet as a nut.  The Ambulance body has been stripped out, this is ok as he wants to turn it into a camper anyway...here's to 10hours in a 7.5Tonne recovery lorry to get the damn thing!! ](*,)

I'm sure you already know this but make sure your recovery lorry has a payload of at least 3.5 tonnes.  The ambi is plated at 3650kgs.  I've been told in the past that they really need a 13tonner to transport them.

That is a very good price! average for an ambi seems to be £3000 or thereabouts.

You need a very big truck to transport a 101. took me ages to find someone to move mine when i bought it.

Well as promised here is the pics....it fitted a treat on the recovery lorry.
The 101 is solid & has some minor faults, should be MOT'd by the end of week...£1200...bargain  8)

And me, although a radio body would do me nicely.  Maybe even a GS.  Ok so, I just really want a 101!

You could always buy one that actually works, and drive it home...
