Remember these when they were new, being driven on trade plates from Ramsgate Harbour where they were imported, to the storage compound at Sandwich. Don’t sell it it’s superb.
I had a petrol one many years ago and it sounded great and as you say great torque. They are however really small compared to the equivalent modern version.
So fährt kein normaler Mensch LT.... Das Problem iat das Getriebe. Das Einheitsgetriebe. Dem 68/72 PS Motor muaat du dermaßen ins Maul treten wenn du was zu schleppen hast, das ist unglaublich. Die Charakteristik ist aber auch so ausgelegt. 140 NM und Leistung bei 4500 sind Benzinerwerte.... Der will achon gedroschen werden. Nicht ganz zu Ende gedacht, da ja nur 2 dran gehängt, aber sehr sehr sympathisch ❤️
Well my friend, you have a nice van and although i have absolutely no need for the van, it would have been nice to own and maybe create some decent youtube content with yourself
It's not, it was available on many manufacturers including VW. It just means that first is to the bottom left as apposed to the standard H gate in the shape of a dogs leg.
These were a market traders best friend! Such a beautiful van with a beautiful sounding engine.
used to drive one at a shop fitting company, it's like driving your living room around 😃

I had a Volvo 940TD same engine, so much torque and class growl! It was a tank.
Good video, very informative, & oh yes that 2.4 6 cylinder engine sound is so nice. Daniel.
Used to fly around Woking area in an LT45. Good Vans.

Doing your business in the glovebox is a tad unsavoury, no matter how large it may be.
i had the early 4 pot perkins diesel, bloody awful, pulled it out and put a petrol in, great vans though generally
I cant see it doing more than 18 mpg, so not sure what its likely to be worth?
Vw lt whit v8 350 cu chev i sold it voor banger race 😢😫
Great van,don't sell it
How much would you want for it if you sold it?
It was for sale at the time of the video, but I decided to keep it so it's currently not for sale.
@martonmechanicalmachines9842 can i change your mind with an offer of £3500
@arfaanalam1761 thank you for the offer but I wouldn't let it go for that if it was for sale
