1961 English Ford Van 800 Thames Freighter for Sale

I'm helping out a friend who recently aquired a 1961 English Ford Van 800. It has been garaged for the last 30+ years. It is red and seems to be in fair condition for its age. I have pictures of it if anybody is interested. I know very little about these vans, so if anyone can help provide any information about them and what they are worth it would be appreciated. We believe it ran when it was parked in the garage, but no attempt at starting it has been made due to the long period of time sitting. The paint is faded and looks as though it had a business sign attached to the drivers side panel. It is located near South Bay California. Thank you, Radioman1

Is it a Thames????

Yes it is.

Hardest part about what you have is parts, even in England parts are hard to find. Do you have a picture???

Here are three pictures, but they don't look very good. The van has a lot of stuff piled up around it and it hasn't been washed. If I can get some better pictures of it I will post those as well. It is in California and I'm in Washington so it may take a little while.

I'm interested. PM sent. In Reno but have family in Santa Cruz Matt

i have one of these and there are very hard to find parts for and shipping gets up there quick from the U.K. i been working on mine for a year and a half and there seems to be only one guy from the U.K. that deals in the thames van and pickup and its hard pressed to get parts from him!!!so i am interested as well just let me know when you figure out a price ....my email is brianpoore23@yahoo.com thanks

From the pic's guessing you should be able to get 1 to 2 grand if there not much rust. Always wanted one myself

i paid 1500 for mine off ebay found it in Nebraska...so the gman is not far off....i would be interested around that price

Those who are interested, send your phone number to me in a private message and I will give it to the owner of the van. I will let him work out the details with you. Thanks

The van has sold. Thanks to everyone who helped out with it! Radioman1
