Yep they did. It was the old Layland DAF vans that had the Rover 3.5 V8's in the ambulances. Ford used the 3 V6 in the Transist.

The sprinter has a 2.7 5 cylinder that runs on that horrible smelly dirty heavy oil stuff, yuck.

I have started the inside mate, but i'm about to move house so work has stopped now i have a bed in the back, the rest i can do evenings when i'm away from home.

The VW's and any other type have capaints seats but they are all cloth faced and basicly posh van seats. I can find any UK suppliers of American RV type seats.

I do have a couple of photo's of the inside, i will post them up at some point.

I'm not sure how much work you want to put into it seats, but can you take the base from a captain chair and mount it to a really nice comfy leather chair you want?

Like a A8 chair.

Well done Richard you win.

The sports performance race van was indeed in Plant carry mode.

nice to see you back Dezzy!
I didn't realise when you said that you were moving that you had to build the house first!
