Just to update this thread as our "fleet" has altered (and grown) since I last posted on this thread. We still have the Iveco Daily camper but we have replaced the wife's aging 2001 Focus diesel for a 55 plate focus diesel, proper bargain at just £2K. We've also added a short wheelbase 2 litre diesel 05 plate Ducato as a work van and I now own "Dierdre", a 1995 1.8IS "Gleneagles" MX5 in British Racing Green, this is to be next year's speed hillclimber and it was cheap as chips at just £700 with ten months ticket on it.
The Ducato (Duke) is very tidy for a van with 190,000 miles under its tyres and drives like a charm, the Focus drives beautifully too and with a new cam belt and air con regas its good to go. Dierdre has just had a new cambelt but is in need of a couple of tyres (watching loads on Ebay at the moment along with a few other bits n bobs) but feels quick and fun on the 200 yard driveway to my workshop.
D.
P.S. its called Dierdre 'cos its a hairdressers car innit?
