New Mk8 required - 2 side loading doors L3H2

Postby CplSmudge » Thu Apr 14, 2016 7:18 am

Hi - I have a new MK8 requirement so long as it is L3H2 and a side loading door on both sides. I asked my local dealer in Swindon to find one and they did but another dealer had it up north and wouldn't part with it. SO they offered me a Custom with the statement that "apart from all the extras the only difference is the length is a bit shorter". I nearly ahd it when I realised that the width of the side doors is much smaller and I need the larger 130cm doors so its no good.

If anyone knows of a van in the country that would meet this spec I would be happy to hear from you, thanks

I would look at a used van if available

Don't know. Being old I am a bit of a cynic and I wouldn't put it past the chap in the dealer to have "made it up"
