I had 500 quid aside to buy a van. its hard work im telling ya. all i could find was p plate escort vans or old vauxhall combos that were nails. Oh yes new bonnet and grill and a day minting it up i think it will look pretty reasonable (i hope) ;D

Fairly sure Ive got one of those Toni-bell Ice Cream Sirens knocking about in the garage, if it helps your new business venture Dan.

Funny you should say that as the door handle is broken on the rear door but can be opened.

Thats good to hear byron. This is a 51 plate so im hoping its going to serve me well at least till MOT time. What sort of MPG do you get on a run, lets say half laden?

Generally around 53 mpg and I have a 60+ mile daily commute Dan.
Sits happily at 70mph all day, though it's actually happiest at around the 80 mark! :y

Can't help with the door handle though - sorry! :'(
