Thing is, with a wee van he's got a project. A bit of insulation carpeting and LED lighting bought off eBay and he has a smart looking space away from the house. Yes, a potential shagginwagon, but that's better than a bus shelter.
I wouldn't turn it into a proper camper though. That just adds an extra layer to the back insurance questionnaire.

LOL, 9873210, I just noticed that you have (or had, at the time of posting) 999 posts in your history. Are you trying to tell us something?

Re: Cars for new drivers
Thanks, all good/entertaining advice. Almost certainly we'll be going Insurance Group 1 and 3rd party insurance.
What I find really handy these days is one can look up an MOT history very easily, to help sort the wheat from the chaff. Failures on things like worn tyres and brake pads don''t worry me, but once you start spotting coils, springs, suspension, exhausts advisories being repeatedly ignored or failed that's an instant turn off.

Honda Jazz every time. Mine has just done 113,000 miles, since 2006. Engine sounds better now than when I bought it in 2009. Only repairs have been a reconditioned ABS pump last year, and a liberal application of silicone sealant around the rear hatchback to solve a annoyingly persistent water leak. A well known old Jazz problem according to clips on Youtube. Also avoid the model before the latest one, which apparently is particularly targetted by catalyst theives.
