• Takes away a big chunk of risk, is 30k cheaper, is a (somewhat) more car based platform (Vito chassis with passenger car suspension under the V-Class body), I could drive it away next week, and the modular stuff in the boot can be easily modified to have four bikes and three rear seats, two bikes and a single bed plus three rear seats, no bikes and a double bed and three seats, or a double bed and two bikes, plus in various combination a kitchen and storage area.

    Now, how do I convince them to remove the 2.2 litre diesel and fit a 6.3 litre petrol V8?
