to be honest they're not that popular as people dont like sitting in the rear of a van (unless its one thats had a window conversion)

I saw this car at Malvern, and seem to remember the floor being cut back further for leg room, instead of having the overlap where the battery normally goes. I think it was this car anyway, with the battery under the bonnet.We have a van with seat in the back, are is a car derived van on the logbook and was conversion by Leyland
Leyland didn't do meany and i've not see any around the shows so got to be £50+
Anyone wanting to see a the conversion are van will be at Himley!!
All depends if this has to be done to fit this seat...

Are you sure? Vauxhall had an optional extra in their Astra vans and Corsa Combo vans to have extra seats in the back but no side window...By law, if you fit seats into the back of the van, it will need a window fitting.

It IS illegal to carry passengers in the back of a van, technically speaking, if you put seats in the back, and don't change the classification of the vehicle (or number of seats ) then you are in breach of this, and as we well know changing information of the registration document is getting ever increasingly difficult without DVLA pricking up their ears and demanding the vehicle be inspected. For example, if you convert a van to a 'motor home' then there are a raft of requirements which need to be satisfied before the change is granted, one of which is side windows ( well at least one which I believe has something to do with a means of escape or access in the event of accident )

I think this is got around by the fact they are folding and non perminant?I think the confusion may be around the change of purpose of the vehicle. In putting seats into the back of a van you are potentially changing it from a 'van' to something like and Estate, Minibus, Motor Caravan, which have different regulations regarding the constructions and use legislation...

Lots of Land Rovers have the same folding side seats too.
