I paid £4000, however vans were definitely at they're peak price then (mid 2021). Over here VW's command a premium over everything else, Ford Transit's remain the cheapest/most common to find. I prefer the Mercedes for a variety of reasons. Cheers

The van has received some suspension work, the annual mot highlighted slight play in a ball joint then 1 morning I came out to find a snapped front spring. So new lower control arms, springs, drop links, anti roll bar bushes and an alignment have the front end solid again. Then I did my...

In my humble opinion the word overland now does indicate more bolt ons. I personally feel people who hark back to the 'good old days' probably would of loved what's available today though. Not many people can honestly say they wouldn't have what's available today if budget allowed. I do think...

*edited to add actually the first thing I/we did was give it a damn good clean! So right after buying the van I dived in so do a full service, all filters and all fluids, fixed a couple of pieces and some preventative maintenance elsewhere. Installed a decent radio, then the tyres needed...
