I don’t hang around with such people, how dare you insinuate such a thing! 🤣

Can get a pre reg 25plate crafter for 27k plus vat with business pack(A/C) looking to pay a little more to get the colour I want (even though from new it’s a no cost option!)

If I was placing an order….

Auto
Led headlights
Front fogs/cornering lights
Heated screen & mirrors
Mfsw
Standard cruise control (don’t really like adaptive)
Factory towbar/13pin wiring (neater than aftermarket loom underneath van)
Side marker lights
Ergo Drivers captains seat
Single passenger seat if you don’t need front double (cheaper, and camper friendly come resale time)

Love cruise control but adaptive cannot stand

I’d love to go auto but it does start to push me into mid+ 30’s.. trying to keep it as cheap as possible within reason! Plus I wouldn’t mind remembering how to drive a manual lol. Will see what the dealer has in stock and what deals can be done 😉

I know how to treat a lady!

We do have a 51 plate merc vito now. Just a van with a bed in it, but at least the back half is watertight. The front doors are swiss cheese, but the chassis is perfect as is the engine at 80k, and for £500 it was cheaper than a decent canopy for the pickup.

But the ivecos will tow a 7t digger and have a hiab on.
Saw this online recently, think this one will crane the digger on the back.
