im only 20 this month so as soon as a mod a car my insurance goes sky high

i would like to get it drive it for a bit then fit a 2.5 td out of a later 1 but till then i was hoping for a 2.0 pinto as that will pull a car trailer ok

i might still get the 1.6 1 off ebay im still unsure as it wont do all the jobs i want it to do

Where in the country are you? The LWB van is worth a go, it belongs to a member of the Forum, but he hasn't posted in ages.
