I'm looking for a good solid tow vehicle with room in the back, probably a
110 van, and am trying to find dealers within a reasonable distance of Filey
in North Yorkshire. So far I've found P.A. Blanchard & Co in Shiptonthorpe
but they've only got vehicles that are a bit over my budget of £5k max, I
would be very grateful if any one can point me in the right direction.

Dealers aren't likely to have low cost vehicles on the forecourt, but they
do unload them at auctions and on ebay - worth taking a peek even if you
don't find the right vehicle you may pick up some useful contacts.

Also - the odd vehicle does get mentioned here.

Thanks, I've had advice from friends who are owners so hopefully am getting
a bit clued up .

I probably should have worded it differently, I tried official dealers and,
as you say, they aren't interested in anything under £15k which would spoil
the immage they wish to portray to those with more money than sense, at
least that's the case around here. I should have said I'm looking for
independents who specialise in older and cheaper Land Rovers.

I've been following EBay closely, there is a steady stream coming up but
most seem to fail to meet their reserve or starting price, people seem to be
asking too much for them I guess.

I got my 110 from what is now called LR Spares www.southviewservices.co.uk

They're near Grantham, close to the A1.

Thanks Stuart, I'll be in that area in a few weeks time so will give them a
look.

Greg,
Ive just sold a 92 Tdi 90 HT in Driffield. Ive found that "their
ain't much in this area!"

You could always try Dewsbury 4x4 - OK Ii know they arent near Filey
but once on the motorway its only 1/2 hr.

I suspect you may be better off looking in the classifieds -
www.4x4web.co.uk is a good place to start.
