    As I'm working for myself at the mo I decided I need a van. However, as I don't like spending money I wanted a cheap one, and one that I like the look of, @lost-en-france and @tuesday_wildchild you may like it :)

    Thanks @Bernard Fishtrousers for the heads up :) the guy selling was a nice bloke.

    I just need rear door lock to add marginal extra safety for my tools then I'm away :)

    No power steering or electric windows or namby pamby central locking for me! :)

    It's Fiats that do that, French vans just surrender quickly.

    the lock WILL cost more than the van though. nice to see they have upgraded to 4 wheelnuts on the later Citroen.

    I'm pleased to say @rickyrooo1 that the total cost of my fleet in the photo - inc the skoda fabia = £1290 :)

    Sadly the camper adds significantly to that so I shan't include it in my bargain motors bit!

    If you put the original size tyres on (thin one's) the steering is much lighter.

    I'm glad it all worked out OK for you - I've never actually met Ruffgeezer, but he sounds OK.

    Can you still get the stickers for these that say 'Van Blanc'?
