I'm not sure if I get it, if you know what I mean. It looks fantastic, really great vehicle. Very cool.

But to use it for window cleaning? I'm not sure what it will say about your business. I wouldn't consider myself a snob, but it seems to show that you are using window cleaning to fund your Africa tour. I don't think it says that you are serious about your business?

But that's just my opinion of course. I still think it's awesome. :)

The important thing is your happy with it.
Like Tim it would not work for me. The last time I drove one it danced all over the road (rack and pinion steering) and spewed oil everywhere.
I can see the appeal though, I think I would quite like a WV camper.

Could be worse, customer's son has got a 1 year old Land Rover (pretty sure he said it was a defender), started to rust at the rear arch, and the sun roof is leaking.

I think it's a great idea and what a great vehicle anyway.

It'll get you noticed and remembered especially if you add sign writing that has an obvious connection to the vehicle in a funny way.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Defenders body panels are aluminium. Probably a Discovery.

Its different to say the least. I went to look at a commercial  freelander when was looking for my last van. I nearly bought it but decided on a van instead. Sometimes i wish i had got it as was verey comfortable.

It's good to see that the residents of the sahara still have a reliable window cleaner.  ;D

Would like a 110 for my next workhorse. The council are running them now, surprising how professional they can look. I would lean towards standard with a nice bit of sign writing to promote the business. The 110 is a beast. Live long and prosper.
