yeah there's one driving about round my way!

Anything different about them apart from wheels/bodywork?

500bhp perhaps?

Few of these at the ford dealership across town, properly cool for a van, bit novelty though, but a cool addition to any tradesperson's company i rekon Get them notices for sure.

The VW sportline does look sweet. It would be a shame to chuck a load of tools in that!! Big bucks i'd say!

It is a cheap way of getting a high spec van, if you priced up a van with everything that has (not including the wheels or bodykit) it would come to more then the cost of one of these.

Hold on a few months as these go into full production next year and are likely to get cheaper, they will also be adding the new 140 2.2 TDCi limp with a 6 speed box.
