Darren, whose 1986 Mk II long wheelbase Transit is in daily use [...] was delighted to find himself a milestone member: [...] "The Transit has been part of my life since I first started driving one in 1996, and now I have bought a second classic model, a 1969 Mk I camper van, as a restoration project."
