slip lead 862 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 The long wheel base transit connect are a great van, or if your after something a bit smaller the transit courier are also worth looking at The commercial auctions a Blackbushe gu17 9lg have fleets of Van's. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,597 Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 From what i remember of the vans the Caddy held its money better than any of the Connects,Partners etc....good for high mileage,solid but basic vans......do they still not have a glove box ? .....me and a pal had a yard of vans years ago but we never had an office so used to stick all the paperwork for the vans in the glove boxes.....apart from the Caddys ! Also as regards long or short wheelbase a figure that stuck in my mind was the actual size difference between lwb and swb connects/ partners was 7 inches height and length......just not worth it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,597 Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 From what i remember the only small van that would take 2 pallets was the Vw Transporter.....unless your on about these new silly little Euro pallets ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MH1 1,892 Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 I had a 17 reg Partner for work, decent enough van but probably built for a driver that's 5'5. Back and knees were knackered after being cramped in that all day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicepix 5,650 Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Aren't the Seat vans still basically the same size, spec, etc as the VW ones? They used to go a bit cheaper than the Caddy's. Edited November 29, 2019 by Nicepix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
