Transits are nice to drive and plenty out there
However, if you can find a good Relay/Ducato/Boxer, go for this instead. They're great to drive (I rate my old Relay over my Sprinter) and very reliable
Do you really need to spend £6k on a van? Plenty others out there for far less dollars

You'll doing yourself no favours as peoples opinions do stem from what vehicle you drive |
