Cars and such isn't really my area of expertise, but the by far most common van among trade people over here, is the VW caddy. It's very very durable, reliable, and fuel efficient. I have no idea what they go for in the UK, but I saw the following thread some time ago:

VW are expensive on spares, try a vauxhall combo or transit connect. Whats your budget?

good ol' ford escort van for £1000......great little van costs next to nothing to repair as spares are in every junk yard.......or the escort estate.............think about it!!!!

Can get anything from £300 to £1000 and they all have the same chance of blowing up, or not

so true fekin.........but a recon engine for a ford escort is £350 fitted (in london).........and if all you have is £1000 to spend, can you name a better motor?.......
