We use Vauxhall Corsas & Ford Transit Connects in my Post Office depot. They go for auction every 3 years I think. My brother Brock used to have an ex Post Office Escort van. Pretty well sorted as I remember.

no more photo,s as yet, but i tacked two more cross members in the chassis to take the tank then found the old stock unused tank leaked so went back to an old plan and started to modify the tank it may work,, it may not  meanwhile the dutton,s been breeding and anothe melos has landed complete with a new galvanised chassis, and yet another dutton to collect,,, that will take the currant total upto three |
