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.

I do not consider that a valid assumption, as I have been in the position
where I could only afford one or the other, so I used a van for everything
and I know other people who have been or are in the same situation. I had a
business insurance that covered any use except motor trade and competition.

Your computer guy can use a car for both.

I expect he does but the extensive signwriting makes it quite obvious that
it is a business vehicle.

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.

I didn't suggest £15 per hour. I only suggested that people do not expect to
see a handyman charging £40 per hour.
