Tradesman Transport - Tatty van or tidy car?

Not a bad choice, really, if you can get the bodywork looking nice.

When people are looking for a van, they'll tick the diesel box on the search, so you'll have snagged something much better for less money.

I'm not sure how you plan to get your customers but what would impress me is how well you answered the phone/replied to e-mail, how well you answered my questions and of course price. If you pass those then what you turn up in is of relatively little interest to me as long as you do what you say you'll do, for the price quoted, and a good attitude. I'm paying you to do a good job reliably on time, not to drive a particular kind of vehicle.
