I use old Post Office vans LDV Pilots(no don't laugh), I've been wfp for 5 years and on my 3rd one, they sell them on after 5 years of use, they have been serviced 10 times in that time, you can pcik one up for £1800 plus vat from auctions. Use them for 2 years then sell them on. These are the plus points.
Bad points.
They are bright red, ugly and they are scratched and dented, everyone will say it's Postman pat and he's been sacked and become a windy. But I don't care, I still get good quality work, and cause I have a crap van people assume they are getting a good deal
