van blues
« on: 05 March 2012, 22:02:58 »

well the day arrived to trade my van in was up at sheffield bright and early 7am at pentagon vauxhall... and low and behold on the forecourt was the new van looked good apart from the huge staple in the back wheel and the tram line scratches all the way down one side that had obviously been unsecesfully filled with wax >:( >:( >:(

after listening to all the excuses they offered to spray it :o :o fortunatley sherlock holmes managed to find exactly the same van spec and colour hidden in a corner of the showroom :y :y bloody huge showroom.

several more excuses that were not accepted and the van was being registered as i waited

what a performance left home at 3am got home at 9pm got there in the end

would imagine there is a very cheap 1 owner movano with respray for sale soon

Seems a long way to go for a new Van, I assume you could not get such a good deal more local, North / South divide divides again... ::) ::)

....
would imagine there is a very cheap 1 owner movano with respray for sale soon

They will just deregister it with DVLA, not an uncommon thing, and then sell as new to someone else.

The painting is another matter though but again, quite common, even from the factory.   :y

Thinking back many years this was the norm with vans, they were white or grey inside and the company had them painted in their colours on the outside.....Certainly was the case with a National company I once worked for, oh and I had one of the first MK2 Transits in the country, all painted in company colours...... :y :y :y
