I doubt a computer 'guru' needs a van

He still needs transport and the car he drives probably cost about the
same as my Renualt Master.

Few people would use a van as personal transport for leisure use - indeed
they're probably not insured for this. So would have both car or estate
etc plus van. Your computer guy can use a car for both.

and loads of expensive tools.

Assuming a 47 week year, a 40 hour week and a four year writing off
period, £1 an hour covers £7,500 worth of tools.

Could be.

And the country is awash with them.

That doesn't make them cheap though.

Dunno. All I know is I wouldn't take any work in my freelance field which
only offered 15 quid an hour - and I don't usually need to carry equipment
or tools.
If I did, my rate goes up.
