No time wasters . Serious buyers only. Viewing by appointment. Proof of funds required. I bought this van because I’ve always loved classics with character — but I wanted something that stood out, something truly one-of-a-kind. When I saw this 1962 Ford Thames 15cwt van, completely transformed into a drag-inspired showpiece, I knew it was special. It’s not just a van; it’s a statement. The Hulk-themed custom paintwork, the NOS system, and the massive rear Hoosier slicks give it an aggressive stance and presence you just don’t find on the road. It’s a proper crowd-puller.
What makes it unique is the attention to detail in the build — from the Protech adjustable shocks and MSD ignition to the fully tubbed rear end and roll cage, it’s been built with purpose, not just looks. You can tell this wasn’t thrown together — it’s had real thought and money put into it.
