Excellent idea putting body on other Mercedes good show

Absolutely loved this video as usual. Brilliant content Al. Also shows exactly why we all love a Mercedes van...

I know nothing about diesels nor vans yet your videos are still intriguing to watch. I want an old Mercedes now

Love your content and and love watching you tipacal fitter loves to potter on

Now that is a rare old bus. The twin cab sprinter and in good nick low miles. Must be the only 1 left on this earth. And on about rare things. Parked in Milton Keynes shopping centre as a advertisement for some charity is a twin wheel mwb minibus on a 2005. It's been sat in the same place for easily 10yrs. I did try looking at the mileage I think it said 45k But couldn't work out if it was in kilometres or miles as as the glare was to bright. But looks a solid old bus. And it's automatic I'm told. But love the videos Well jealous of your yard I'd love a place like that 👍👍👍

Another great Sunday watch after dinner. Thank you for the content.

Owe my life to a sprinter Al . I was hit head on ,on a country B road by a 17t lorry@ 64mph when the pulled his tacho . Only two straight panels were the rear doors . Love a sprinter😊 😊😊

Your a man after my own heart, I have to admit to being a bit envious of the amount of space you have to indulge your passion, I’ve got a bit of a thing about mk1 vito’s, I’m down to two now, one’s a shed ( garage overspill ) and the other is a rust free ex-met surveillance van ready for the “surf van” treatment, I did have 6 newer type beetles at one stage but had a nightmare trying to stash them around so I had to let them go, I have such little space at the moment I may well contact you regarding an engine overhaul on the vito in the near future, all the best fella 👍

Love these old sprinters Al, I’m seriously considering one or a crafter for my next van, witch one of the slightly more modern ones in the last 10ish years has the better engines and less rust issues do you suggest looking for…if such exist? Matt.
