Right, me and my mates have had a crazy idea, we want to buy a people carrier between us so we can take a group of us down to newquay and various other places in one car.

What I want is suggestions from you lot as to which to buy.

Around seven seats and with enough space for luggage, what ideas you got people

 

Ford Tourneo, spot on

 

Or you could always get a bad boy like this

camper vans are quality and go forever

 

just get a transit minibus mate, would think you could get one well cheap

 

if your prepared to stop every 30 mins too cool down

 

that's what i thought

how many people are you allowed to take on a full UK licence?

or what size vehicle

 

iirc its either 8/9.

think you can drive a 14 seater mini bus only if your not being paid to drive it.

check on dvla site mate

 

IIRC 9 including the driver if you passed after 1991, and I think its 16 including the driver if its before that

 

i will never change my mind that the vauxhall zafira is a quality people carrier!!!

rented one on holiday and a few people i know have them and i thought they were ace, really really good cars IMO!

 

People carriers are shit, the more people you have the more luggage you have to take but the less space you have to put it in, get yourself a rear wheel drive tranny minibus, muchos room, muchos cool, and muchos cheap

 

Zafiras are great but you won't get 7 adults in and any luggage. In fact, you need to be a midget to fit in the back seats.

However if you want one we have about a dozen in stock from Ł3995

The only REAL 7 seater that has any decent room in is the Honda Shuttle!

But as said above, get a cheap derv transit minibus with 14 seats and take the last row or so out for luggage.

I believe the rules are you can drive a 14 seater if it's not for profit? But sounds like you don't need that many anyway?

 

get one of thise roof box things

i think zafiras are cosy

 

Small? :P

 

if we were to get a 12 seater transit bus, and took out 4 seats, we'd be able to drive it without having a minibus licence?

DVLA says 8 seater is the max I can drive

 

Ford galxay
