Nissan Interstar

The Nissan Interstar is a sensible, no-nonsense panel van that puts practicality front and center, with a cavernous load area and a durable feel built for daily work. It drives with surprising composure for its size, keeps running costs modest, and feels like the kind of professional tool that prefers reliable service over flashy showboating.

VW Caddy

The VW Caddy is the Swiss-army knife of compact vans — practical, surprisingly refined, and ready to swap a weekend adventure for a grocery run without breaking a sweat. It’s user-friendly, comfortable enough for daily driving, and sensible for buyers who want utility with a dash of style and no drama.

A really lovely car with space for a wheelchair and much more, which we've had for almost 14 years and driven over 200,000 km with. Now the gearbox has failed and we'd like to buy a new one.
