Has anyone ordered the new Sportvan

Postby Clayton » Mon Jul 02, 2007 10:56 pm

I am very interested in the new Sportvan and wanted to know who else had ordered one?

Looks very nice on the computor pics, but when you see it in the fleash it's awesome!

I want one bigtime.

Is there any options on these?

What do you lot think of it?

Might do tomorrow.

Big decision and wanted some help.

Lot of money but offered me a good price on mine.

Assuming you can even spec extras since it is a special? It needs (for me) a twin passenger seat and solid rear doors.
The solid doors 'may' be an option but as the only pictures we have seen are from the front and only one of those allowed you to see through the bulkhead which clearly showed it had glass in the back.

It already has both of these.

I doubt you can can make any changes like solid rear doors as there are all already made. Also they all have a twin passenger seat.

Really? As all the pictures had single passenger seats in so did they change that from the promo release model? I know you went and took those pictures so did they all have double pasenger seats in them?

This was what I was meaning by them being able to have any changes made. I imagine the MK5 Hallmark was like the old Henry Ford ad...'available in any colour as long as it's black!' but in the case of the Hallmark you got it as it was specced.

I know some people do like single passenger seats but in a van I don't think they are such a great idea, Minibuses (Tourneo or otherwise) sure, but not vans.
Afterall you are forever seeing passenger seats for sale (often listed as drivers ones :roll: ) obviously from ex-BT vans so single passengers seats are not that universally loved.

The second two are clearly a single seat

That van was just a mock up Mark, not the final van, as I said they all have a twin seat. You only need to look at the spec sheet to find that out.

The one I looked at today had a double passenger seat for definate.

I really do want one, even moreso looking at the pics.

Will thes hold their money well being limited of only 500?
