    The bodies are sent to OZ in kit form and are then mounted on the OZ type chassis for use as they do down under,

    There was one on th Bailey stand last year at Brum

    Looks like they make em there now, no Alko nonsense, it appears only the alutech corner profile survived Australisation!!

    Love the specs of the new ones, starting price £31000

    If only we poor Brits could afford a properly built van.

    I'd seriously consider one with such a great user payload.  I'd go for a Thule awning though.  I could still tow one comfortably with my Disco. £31,000 would be a push, but it might be worth it in the long run.  Perhaps it would save changing the van frequently.

    Why not go German? Well built and I'm sure there would be change from£31,000. I bought my Fendt new in 2004 and it's still like new inside. The outside comes up very well when I get round to cleaning it.
