Looking for small ish size van, I’d like to be able to move a bike comfortably without squeezing in or going diagonal etc etc. Ideally I want smaller than traditional transit size
Thanks

Have you thought about a 2007-2016 Fiat Scudo? A mate has a LWB one and it has quite a decent load space for a fairly compact van. The L2 H2 (Long wheelbase High roof) version might be the best choice? vandimensions.com/database/fiat/scudo-2007The Citroen Dispatch and Peugeot Expert from the same years are essentially the same van and there are also wheelchair versions which already have a ramp: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256477995179 |

A bit smaller than a transit and doubles up as a car. I use a 2001 T4 Caravelle. 2 LC’s go in comfortably although the mirrors need to come off

But they’re very posh and you might not want to put a bike in it. My T4 is quite rough but solid and versatile |

VW transporter t5. [1.9tdi] long or short wheelbase , great van, can fit 2 fully equipped race bikes and spares ,tools ,and awnings for 2 weeks on the rock easily  , can do 100mph if needed ,and can get me from Dublin to gedinne on one tank of diesel driving through the UK, only downside is that they hold there value so can be pricy .[ I have a 06 one that's going up in value as the miles rise and I've done over 400k so far ] |
