One of the late Doug Dawe’s wagons, now run by his family. I worked with Doug, a great bloke and a cracking mechanic.

Smart little motor, Dave, complete with sleeper cab. I’ll probably have to fight Harry to get that one!

Dan Punchard would probably beat the two of you to it Casey. :laughing:
Cheers Dave.

He probably would- he’s younger (& probably fitter) than us!

He’s also operates Mercedes Sprinters.
Cheers Dave.

Payload of about 40kg with that cab on it as well.

Not a fan of Mercs, we use all Transits these days.

Hi dew,
I had two Transits, and did 300,000 miles with the one, both good vehicles. I now run two Merc Sprinters,one which is a 216cdi with the five cylinder 156 bhp engine which I bought new in 2006. I also bought a Traveliner which is a 210cdi at just over 100bhp,which drives and handles like a car. I have just returned after doing 850 miles to North Yorkshire and back on holiday, doing all sorts of roads from narrow to a lot of motorway traveling around
I have to say the Sprinters are better in build quality than the transits, and the newer 210 is very good on fuel.
Cheers Dave.

In the time I’ve been with our firm we’ve had 3x 2.5D Smiley Face, and now run 2 Transit Mk6 90 T350 Lutons, a 125 T350 Luton and a 90 T350 Crew van. The best driving ironically is one of the 90 Lutons, handles great and will sit all day at 75mph without breaking a sweat, or draining the tanks! Also had two LDV Convoy TDs, but the less said about them the better.


Great workhorse for the country roads that one

Hiya,
At last something I could just about manage now just so long as there
was no loading/unloading involved, then you could add a trailer.
thanks harry, long retired.

Speak to Dan Punchard about this Harry. Dan runs Mercedes Sprinters with drag trailers all over Europe, so he’s your man,he also has a crane on his, so no handballing.
Cheers Dave.
