This one, for example...Welcome Bob.
Have you looked at the vans for sale here on the forum? If I were looking for a used van, my preference would be to buy off an enthusiast that's lavished love and money on their ride.
I've just had mine from Spray squad, also in Dudley. Alex will source a van to your spec and do a conversion to your preference including a spray, alloys pop top etc. Your budget will get you a newer van (21 plate) with 100k + on clock or an older van (17/18 plate) with 60 - 80k. They come with 6 month mechanical warranty and 12 month conversion. Can't fault service or aftercare.
Hi Mark, sorry to revive an old thread, just wondering if all was still well or if you’ve had any issues with your van from them in terms of build quality etc? Thanks
As my mechanic said just service & maintain it and it will go on for many thousands of miles. Mine is almost at 104k and drives like any others I test drove with significantly less miles. Just covered 400mls in mine and got 34-35mpg too.Hi mate, touch wood, all has been well with the van. I'm no expert but I'd say the build is pretty good. No short cuts I've found...thay use higher end stuff for pop top / battery / control unit and the finish is excellent, probably mid range on kitchen units but generally very tidy and solid. I've had a few minor issues with van itself and conversion requiring two returns, but their after service has been spot on. I'm 2 hours away and he covered all my train fares etc when I took it back....depends if you want that faff but for what I got V, the cheapest way I could find elsewhere ( including buying base or going for completed job) , the difference was about 5k on a 33k van. There's obviously no guarantee that the van you go for won't have issues, but Alex is transparent about what history van has and if its not right for you, hold out for one that suits better. I originally had it in mind that I wanted one with around 70k miles and a 17 or 18 plate on my budget. I ended up plumping for one on a 21 plate with 114k miles...quite nervous about it at first but touch wood, it'll go for years . DM me if you need any other info about them...and if you're close, go and see the workshop and play around with kit.
Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. I’ve just been and spoken to Alex who was very helpful and showed me a few vans they are working on. Quality seemed top notch (from what I could see anyway). I’ve got a van and just need the pop top and windows doing. Very reasonably priced tooHi mate, touch wood, all has been well with the van.
