Sounds like something to do if/when everything else goes mammaries up. Better than working in B&Q anyway ! 🤔

Don't do it. Geta classic VW Beetle instead? Espada on the other hand should get the new Tesla S P100D :-) If you're going to buy a VW camper you must always carry four spotty yoofs in the back. Their sole purpose in life is to push the damn thing up hills which prove too much for its wheezy underpowered lawnmower engine (that's anything slightly steeper than 1 in 20) and also to stand around looking bereft and helpless when the brute self-immolates without warning, as they're prone to doing. Horrible things, ridiculously overpriced. The later Transporter may be irritatingly ubiquitous and equally expensive but it's a far superior vehicle.

Perfectly practical vehicle, if a bit slow, If it floats your boat, get one, if you are feeling really adventurous get a Commer instead, roomier, a bit quicker but enthusiastic rather than cult following so the prices are a bit more sensible.

What does it look like, Commerdriver? I suspect a little like this: .....Warrington here I come..... (I shouldn't really be quite so dismissive, my first three 'vans were Auto-Sleepers, two of them VW-based, though none of them quite of the vintage of those under discussion).

Mazda Bongo Friendee is what Humph needs. Will look good on a Cheshire driveway, next to the plastic lions on the gateposts.

I prefer the name Bongo Friendee though. It's got a nice ring to it.

If you click on reply instead of doing a quick reply you get the chance to change font, font size, style, etc. Format the text etc. One of the little icons lets you insert an image. Hover over them but it's to the right of the Email icon. Insert video is the clipboard icon on the right of the insert image icon.
Then click on Create Post button. Job done.

Saw one of the older models of the Elgrand yesterday as it happens - not a great looking van is it.

Didn't know about the Elgrand (or the Horny Elgrand, or the Fargo Filly) but we did have its rival the Toyota Alphard as team transport for two days in Jakarta in 2013. I thought that was fabulous - huge seats and acres of space for legs and shoulders, and if you have to be in traffic that makes a 40-minute drive take three hours (in the rain) it's a pretty good way to travel.
