General comments?
What a simply fantastic vehicle..
Its led an interesting life, first in the U.S. then as a taxi in the mediterranean island of Majorca, then driven over 1500 m iles back to the UK, I bought it a week later..
Handling is as you would expect, (like a truck) but ride comfort and interior noise is excellent. seats are fantastic (it has the double bench layout and seats 8) and every toy still works - the AC was recharged when I bought it and is ice cold at just 3.3 deg. centigrade!
Great workhorse / tow car / people mover in one package.. fantastic van, will only consider replacing it with another...
