Well done that man!
I drove one of them for 18months when I was multi-dropping for ****ty Link. Good ol' work horses. Not too pokey, but a loyal van if serviced regular.

Hope it serves you well Sir........... ;)

Hundreds,if not thousands of pikers can't be wrong.

Yeah they aint at cutting edge of van design-which is why they are great value. :)

I bought the Bedford version I think it was called the C4 with a petrol engine for £35. I spent six months kitting it out as a mobile home, loaded it up and first time out, the offside rear wheel sheared off while I was taking a curve! Who says you can't lean a van! :D John

Nice one mate.. should do you nicely that..

Could probably fit Huw's beer in there as well as Huw... and that'll take a fair bit of room up... :D

That van will only take enough beer for Huw to last a couple of hours, you'll have to make regular supermarket stops for more strongbow!!!

My mate Del has one of them. Ex P.O too.
Handy for carting the bikes around, and they run forever if well maintained. ;)
