Title: Signwriting on a red van
Post by: Dave Willis on July 24, 2010, 08:53:33 am

What colours do you use? Most trades seem to use black or yellow.
Anything else look reasonable?

Bit like having ginger hair in the van world.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. I was looking at a new red Hiace and trying to visualise how it could be written.
How do you get on with the van? Any problems? anything you would change?

They look a bit higher than my Despatch I don't think it would go under the barrier at the local supermarket - 2m limit.

I was hoping to get 2.5m triples inside but they wont go.

Still undecided. Keep thinking about it then I manage to push the thoughts out of my head for another day.  ;D

Drive past a new red one on a forecourt most days. Wish they would get rid of it.

Lovely vans tho Dave..

Wont the ladders go "overhead" in the Hiace? Ive managed to "make" hangers out of copper pipe for mine.

The one I drove had the bulkhead fitted so I couldn't get them in. Swb. too. A properly secured tank might eliminate the need for a bulkhead anyway.
They seem well priced at the moment for the size of vehicle. £15k with the vat which seems on a par with the smaller Despatch/Scudo

How do you get on with the van? Any problems?

Hi Dave .... I used to sell these up until a few months back .... sold plenty and not had any real issues .... pretty much bullet proof if a little more expensive than other simlair vans ... just make  sure its got at least some service history if possible. if you email me the reg number I can get it checked out on the toyota factory system if its ever been into a toyota dealer in its past.

hi dAVE.

sORRY FOR THE DELAY.

The van is great and very reliable. I prefer drive this to our Audi A4 ;D
It is high and if I need to put ladders on top, I use the side door. Its not very quick tho  :-[
