Trouble with a works van is though they are abused, i know mine is, even though i look after it i.e oil, water etc. I'd still be tempted if it was in good nick though.

They are having bloody Vauxhall vans though now aint they. The only Mk6 Bt vans ive seen have been lutons or cherry pickers.

They went back to Transits after the new deal was struck this year, so that must be less than a year with Vauxhall!

It depends who you work for some trandsport managers are good and stand no noncence otheres just shuffle paper about and dont care about the fleet try the guy we had at birmingham coulcil the slightsest maek and there would be a major investigation if you did not report any mishaps to him .
old ford's never die they just go faster

I can understand that though cos if i had a fleet i'd be sh*t hot on lookin after them, it says alot about a manager and company really. Our vans are, on the whole, a right mess. Cept for mine and a couple of others.
Ive seen a few connects and smaller Fiesta vans. Should have stuck with trannies. :lol:

That's the price you have to pay if you want a decent van.

There was 5 or six of them sold up here recently, 'P' - 'Y' reg, full racking etc, well maintained, and as cheap as buggery!...... was nearly tempted to get one myself
will keep my eyes peeled, they sell off a few now and again, and the lads up here seem to take some pride in their fleet.
