Mostly converted with water, electrics etc www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171154816994#viTabs_0A bit rough inside, could do with tidying up the decor and fittings a bit. Not my van I hasten to add, just something I saw on ebay which may interest someone.

I wish I could find one of those big brown Mercs that UPS use, the ones with the sliding doors. Never found an ex UPS one for sale though.

Check out the smaller Mercs that UPS use too, they look great! I have looked for these second hand and also asked UPS about the body builder they use. They are very unwilling to share any information though.

A shame they are scrapped, I bet there is a lot of use left in the body which could even be transferred to a newer vehicle. It seems an ideal set up to make use of the Sprinter chassis which is a little narrow in the panel van incarnation. A nice straight blank canvass to work with inside. I like the Ocado vans You'd want one similar with an airflow over the cab you access from inside the box rather than a refrigeration unit.
