This would pretty much
work with almost any powerchair or user as headroom, and room to turn inside is
generous.

It uses a quiet reliable under floor alloy hydraulic operated
lift, to get you up to the lowered interior floor level and so leaves the
doorway completely clear for any passengers to use. It takes less space than a
ramp does (compared to my own van).
But this van desperately needs a set of bigger alloy wheels! No
problem, I do that to all my vans.
But this is the jack of\ all trades version as its the hard
working well used demonstrator. It has a few scuffs and marks and had just
driven hundreds of miles on our wet salty winter roads. Yours will be new,
neater and better than this. And I want one!

The interior can be in
hard wearing smooth material or carpeted like the original van. Again I would
prefer carpet.

The lift can be on either
side, the front seats can be removed easily too. So the wheelchair user can sit
up front or drive as preferred. And there is an all leather, 174bhp executive
diesel version with big wheels... That would be my choice.

The only minor concern is the bit below the foot pedals. My wheelchairs
footplate misses this. Some may not. Its under 7 inches high. Worth checking or
testing before you decide to order one though! And with a wide wheelchair the
steering wheel will not be quite central. Although there is plenty of room.
Don't let that worry you though because it seldom is on any car.

The tailgate is heavy. Unlike the US based cars (Chrysler etc) there is lots of
metal, paint, and sound deadening and rust proofing in this van. Its built to
last forever. As is the engine and transmission. Of course it would look
much nicer without all the salt and stickers! (and in silver or black!)
Front. There is a newer version in January. A facelift model. That will replace
this van but the important part of the conversion stays the same. Now I start
saving!
