Wanted Small Diesel Van/Car Needed

[phil_lihp]

Afternoon chaps,

 

I'm looking for another vehicle for our business, we need a small diesel van or estate car - Astra/Focus or similar - something in good condition and reasonably cosmetically sound, up to about £800.  it's for our till technician to run around in, will do around 10k a year so needs to be mechanically sound and reliable.  His Clio's gearbox is dying so we'll need it pretty soon, I'm in Barnstaple but can travel to collect if anyone has something suitable.  Some cosmetic tattiness isn't a problem as we can get it tidied before signwriting or wrapped, main thing is no major rust or big dents (which sadly rules out 83C's Astravan).  Main problem is he's only 20 so something with cheap insurance is preferable!

 

Anyone got something they'd like to shift?

What, nothing?  I'm shocked.  Shocked and appalled.

Shadow's Astra?

Messerschmidt's Dispatch?

I've since been told it has to be an Astra van...fortunatly I think I've found one actually, in South Devon. Enquiries are being made. It seems a lot better than most of the ones in that price range which have had hard lives or are barried beyond redemption.

 

I had just seen those. The Astra is too old really and the Dispatch is too big but good suggestions anyway, I realise it's a tall order!
