Transportation Ideas for vintage cars

[Reckless Rat]

The advantage with the LWB Merc Sprinter is that because it's front wheel drive the rear axle is only single wheel, which means that the wheel arch intrusion into the load bay is considerably less than with a rear wheel drive set-up, which tends to have double wheels. Probably not so relevant for an A7, but could be an issue for anything wider. The build quality and inherent reliability of the MB Sprinter is legendary but other marques are probably not that far behind. Buying second hand of course is always risky. Most commercial vehicles won't have been looked after that well and will have covered big mileages before resale.

I have a friend who buys and sells second hand commercials says that the Sprinters are always his favourite as they generally are in good order irrespective of the mileage and can be turned round with little work.
