You are not going to want to get the inside of that van dirty

I take it that you are using the van for personal use with getting it with the rear seats also what about sign writing on a green van you will have to choose carefully the colours or it will look crap

But nice van :)

Need some ideas for sign writing on this one , want it a bit tasteful, dont want anything to garish on this one
I was just thinking just writing on the rear windows and maybe magnetic signs on the rear quaters.

What do you think ?

you can see the reflection of my other van in the second pic, that is too much for this vehicle.

Got another white one coming in about 2 months

This one is work and play, dont have much call for a family car so it would be a waste to have one.

I normally hire a car when needed , but thought get a family vehicle which will double up as work as
well

magnetic signs for sure make them big for when you work, but have website address sign written on for when you are out with the family.

I am still trying to convince my wife to wear one of my tops to work and uni, and the kids but as yet shes not having any of it.

I am taking my polo tops on holiday  ;D has logo on front and back  ;)

Gary

it was £16'500 + vat

It is 9 months old with 7000 miles,

New list price was £20'000+ vat

I am prepared for the dirt etc , this isnt going to be a fully fledged wfp van.

I am getting a new white one in a couple of months to match my other white one.

My wife just couldnt resist this one , so what the wife wants the wife gets.

She earns us enough so why not.

Dave the only problem is you will only be able to fit a 250l tank in the back. Any heavier it will be too much for the back axle.

Been there done it and now taken the seats out in the middle to fit a bigger tank.

no it is mettallic , pine green i think , cost £450 + vat as an extra

Doug

it is a T32 holds 1.4 tons, and they reccommend most of the weight to go above and just in front of the back axle , it will easily handle 650 at the rear of the seats.

It is a nice van, now that I know that it will handle a tank it's a great van. But I've got to be honest i'd be more envious of your white ones. That other personal use vehicle you mentioned can't really be used for quotes or holidays or running the family about- And this one althought fine for quotes, family, work, and ferrying workers is still a compromise.

I'm a scudo driver anyway, so don't listen to me.

Dave,

thought so, a lot of money but very popular in cornwall. i saw a 54 a few months ago £10k. Metallic silver, alloy wheels, a/c etc.  i wasn,t sure if i could afford it but decided to go & look, it had gone already, so i couldn,t have got it anyway.

I would like to spend more time in your neck of the woods in the summer, we,ve sold the caravan & brought a tent now, so hopefully will get away more. Stayed in hayle at St Ives Bay site the last 3 years, commercial but really good.

Gary
