If I were you I would go for the new Volkswagen WAV Taxi Shuttle.

A mate of mine got one licensed for 7, nice comfy seats, and a few extras for £25,000 via Bernard Mansell.

If I were you I would spend ten grand of it on a new Skoda, find yourself a decent PH firm, and work with them.

With the remaining £20K, I would buy a conversion, license it as a cab, and then get two lads to drive for you. :wink:

That should please old Sussex. :roll:

Alex

Mischevious, Alex.

For 30 grand, you could get a V220 all in leather, 8 passengers (some Councils will only plate for seven), with Sat Nav, WAV access and all sorts of goodies, and the handles dont fall off (Especially if you spend an extra £680 per side and have electric doors fitted).

And God help you if you have it serviced at a Mercedes Agent - I hope you make lots of money you'll need it.
