Hello!

I'm after a fast petrol or diesel van,

It needs to be the size of a caddy or smaller.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Sprinters go like holy hell unladen. When I was a kitchen delivery driver in my student days, it used to pull healthily up to a ton before hitting the limiter in top gear.

Yes, I was that white van up your 'arris tonking down the M4/M5.

Tidy wink

I think the MG ZR EXPRESS 160 is technically the fastest small van ever made, but there rare :/

Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions is all....

Me too, but I'm on a budget.

I'm thinking Escort van and put the spare RST engine I have in it. Other more sensible options include a Kangoo and die from boredom

The TWR development 'special'. I think it now belongs to Don Law.

I would think thats the fastest full size Transit in the world, as apart from the original, all the Supervans are not to full size. I remember Richard Meaden drove the last Supervan in EVO and it was tiny when viewed next to a proper Transit and it didn't have the V8 F1 engine, just the jazzed up turbo V6 that Noble used. smile

God i'm sad. paperbag
