    If your looking for a van my Girfriends dad is selling a P Reg LDV van for about £650.00 in good nick to about 80k on the clock iirc.

    Engine is nothing special power wise but its been well looked after.

    We borrowed a K reg transporter van to get to my house in the floods, water up to the windscreen and it still carried on! Amazing!
