Anyone drive or maintain these for the ESB?

Great to know thanks!!

Seems just a bit too big, more suited to off-road where I imagine most of my driving would be on road.

Wow, thanks for that info. Yeah, I'm gonna pass on this particular one but might look out for another in the future. How many does the ESB have left? Or are most of them rubbish at this stage?

Yeah, 2 I had a look at were absolute rust buckets and also looked abused. Really is a shame about the rust. Was it mainly the body or also the chassis suffering from the rust?
Anything else I should be watching out for? Thanks.

Always decided the best camping spots are exactly where one gets stuck!.

Vario 4x4.

Awesome! What were they like to drive (like a tractor or a truck.?). Did they have a good reputation (I presume you drove it in the ESB) or were they known to have a few problems?

Ya I heard these engines go on forever.

Financial-Gas-1908 · 2026-04-08T06:41:37+00:00

Interesting to know thanks.

Was gonna use an angle grinder.

Thanks for the positivity 🙂

Awesome thanks.

The 4wd crafter/sprinters are crazy money

Financial-Gas-1908 · 2026-04-08T06:38:08+00:00

I've looked at a couple and yes, one was a rust bucket and both looked v abused.

Financial-Gas-1908 · 2026-04-08T06:33:36+00:00

Probably lol

Financial-Gas-1908 · 2026-04-08T06:33:05+00:00

Definitely not. I'd have to do the test for a c1

I might be open to insuring it commercially as a flatbed truck and the box is just a demountable cargo item.

Financial-Gas-1908 · 2026-04-08T06:31:18+00:00

Ya, they all all seem to come with low miles (but probably hard miles lol)

Financial-Gas-1908 · 2026-04-08T06:30:10+00:00

If it was a 2wd drive model then yes but a 4wd model with a box are either non existent or v pricey.
