Deere-est Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Talking Transits, just seen a photo of the new one coming later this year....... It doesn't look the workhorse all previous Transits have looked. Much more styled toward the Vito and Volkswagen. Sounds like a suitable candidate for the job, Mandy. Good mileage too given the year. Many commercial vans of that age would have three times that on the clock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Ferguson Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 just in time for spalding eh mandy, sounds a good buy going by your descriptions I hope so, Sean. It looks fantastic (which worried me a bit), but I did a vehicle check and it's only had one owner, so that may account for the low usage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 they are out there , good few bt vans go with 20 or 30 k tops in 4 years of running ,my bigger one tend to do a lot more as we cover a bigger area than those guys with the smaller vans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 So then "White Van Mand" when do you collect the beast and show us some piccies? Will it be sign written/vehicle wrapped? I think that affects insurance but if you do, please make sure the 'S' in Loves is not mislaid into Holly...... As per young Mr Barret :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per young Mr Barret :D I pick up it in a weeks time (after they've given it a new MOT). I'm actually quite excited about it... it's even got space overhead for our suitcases Of course, you lot fill be the first to see pics. I read you get 5% off insurance if it's signwritten because insurers think you'll look after it better - so yes it will have some little decals on the doors (and of course, HLT will be designing them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
