I always thought a minivan would make a fantastic advertising tool for the right buisness, obviously not for transporting wardrobes or anything big or heavy, or messy but but if you needed something to throw a few boxes to deliver into.
A nicely restored and painted van with decent signwriting has got to be great advertising for any business, even if you never actually use it for moving stuff, plenty of people will take note as you drive about, or parked up outside your premises as static advertising.
If I didnt work in the public sector and had my own little business I know exactly what Id use to advertise it.


Iv often thought if I was a delivery driver for the likes of yodel where you supply your own vehicle it would be cool to use a mini van, would certainly cheer me up if my parcel was delivered in one!

Nah you'd probably do your back in bending down to scoop parcels out the back of a mini van all day long, plus what are you gunna do if you have some massive ones to send and can't fit em in the van?

Not if you lift correctly.

Put them on the roof rack.

My granda used to be a parts delivery person for the local British Leyland dealership, driving a Mini pickup, happy memories of that little blue pickup with its amber flasing light on the roof!  :D
