I'm looking for a van for use when I renovate my house, then move out.
I want something small as possible (because it will be my only vehicle
for a while) However, it must be big enough to carry 4' x 8' sheets of
plasterboard,

I got tired of using a van years ago.
(Although I still have a Leyland 3ton for really big stuff :-) )
Now use a Volvo 940 estate cheaper to buy/insure/run than a van and just
as
big inside.



I have a swb trannie, 1270kg payload, 8 by 4 sheets with ease, changing room
for canoeing. It has an incredible turning circle, shorter than my other
halfs rover 25. Its economical, comfortable, parts are cheap and readily
available. I have driven many large vans at work and nothing even comes
close to the transit IMHO.
