At that price I'd go for the transit. I've had mine for a while now and it's a great work horse cheap to repair can always find parts and does exactly what you need it to.

Loads of space in the rear for tools I've racked mine out and fit all of my tools in no problem.

The only problem is when you get it off road especially in the wet it does have a tendancy to get stuck even with double wheels at the rear. Many a time I've had to be towed out of the mud just depends on where your working really.

Good luck if you can find an 03 transit with 65000 miles for £1800 odd quid.

Not being funny, but I wouldn't even consider a vehicle at that price £2200, all you'll end up with is a pile of rubbish/problems. What I'd do is save up a few more grand and buy something hopefully more reliable, I'd then look for a cabstar because I've had them and they're good and reliable

 

I've seen a cabstar get stuck on a sandwich!
