‘BIG RED’ fiat ducato 3.0litre, dream machine!

Diesel 3.0L 180BHP Maxi Multi-jet top of the range model
Big Red was lovingly converted by me using a professional auto electrician, carpenter, auto-glass window fitter and mechanic. No expense spared to create a unique van, the 3.0L 180bhp Iveco engine is regarded as the best engine for this model, combining power and efficiency, comfortably managing any gradient; this has been tested when driving through the Pyrenees. We spent 5 weeks travelling around Europe last year with no issues and could only be described as ‘an absolute dream’ to travel in. Additional features include cruise control, electric mirrors, two swivel seats up front, rear parking sensors and 6 gears. There are two professionally fitted, factory seats with seatbelts in the back allowing you to take additional passengers, this is perfect for festival adventures. It has been well serviced and recently had the battery replaced. The stereo system is Pioneer including four speakers, subwoofer, blue tooth connectivity, head unit and cd player.

Beds Description
Full size double bed to sleep 2 however, it has 4 professionally fitted front facing seats with seat belts so you could take a further 2 people and a tent to sleep in.

Conversion Description
The conversion of Big Red was a personal passion for me and a year in the making. The fit out is to the highest specification, with care and attention to every small detail including beautiful solid oak worktop and solid oak mini island, the living space is country cottage style decorated in Farrow & Ball Green Smoke, the ceiling is decorated in Far Side Gallery comic books by Gary Larson and a huge map of the world. In contrast, bedroom creates a separate space with funky tropical themed wallpaper and bedding. The bespoke carpentry was designed and built by me with the help of a professional carpenter. This stylish camper van (complete with duelling pistols!) is truly unique and perfect for wild camping due to the extensive solar setup . Specialists worked alongside me on this project including an auto electrician for the electrics and music system, window fitter for skylight/opening roof fan/opening side windows and a gas engineer to fit the cooker hob and sink. A mechanic installed the seats in the rear.

I do not want to sell this van, I love it. The only reason for selling is we are having another baby and I would need to fit another seat somewhere and we need the money for a bigger house 😂.

This is a dream to drive, I’ve had a lot of different trucks, vans over the years for my work but this being a 6 speed 3.0litre is so effortless. (Pulls like a train)
The turning circle is good.
It is a galvanised chassis, so it doesn’t rust unlike some of the other trucks… transits etc.
It also has a timing chain, so it will last a lifetime.
I also had an independent RAC report when I bought it a few months ago. I will show/ give this to new owners.

Also comes with tent/ pump up shower, camping chairs x4, fire pit, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, windbreak and lots more stuff you would need for your camping 🙂

You will not be disappointed.

Send me an email and I will answer any questions for you!
This will be a Available to view in a weeks time.
