Get a 110 and just fit 2 single seats in the rear,i reckon with a bit of fabrication you could fit the dickie seats from a Discovery,and then they fold up neat and still loads of boot space,with seats up or down

ford transit tourneo

just take out the seats you dont need and it becomes carrying space downside is the secondhand prices

Another option?

Mercedes Vito

I use an earlier non turbo van quite often and it's a little gutless towing a car trailer, but the CDi is much better. I've been from Aylesbury to Bournemouth and back on 1/3 of a tank, and I wasn't sparing the horses

When it comes to Minibus like vehicles how about a Chrysler Grand Voyager? 2 + 2 + 3 plus bags behind. It is the only one of these things I have seen that lets you use all the seats and has plenty of space for bags.
I used to borrow my mates for holidays and I liked the driving position so much that I bought myself one a couple of months ago.
I got a V6 3.3 litre 51 plate for a little over 2 grand, but they do diesel ones as well. Mine had a tow bar but I took it off so I don't know how it pulls.
It's a thirsty bugger and so stupidly big I can't park it and for just the daughter and me most of the time its too f...... large but it is airy and spacious and the AC is cold.

Plus it's made by those wonderful people in Graz and when you open the hood you recognise all these parts they got from the Jeep/Chrysler parts bin and it's designed to be repaired by that same guy in Iowa City, you know the one, the high school drop out so its probably fixable by your good self.

I have been immersin myself in Dutch's Dutch Jeep site, especially in the FSJ section, and subsequently can ya look at how much space I have under/along the fuel tank when there is no spare tyre underneath- please - coz if i understand the Dutch gibberish correctly I have room for either a bigger or twin fuel tank, which should double my range

coud ya please confirm next time ya on ya back in the workshop please Pa

no need now, 33 gallon ford bronco tank is the answer, doubles capacity and a perfect fit where the OEM spare went

nice & cheap as a new steel one as well
