Ethanol based petrol is being used in Somerset, I think ford have some adapted vehicles in that area, that news is from...

    Freelander 1 New commercial van project

    Nice work, I think the vans are great. Might be a stupid question, but the leather seats wouldn't be an issue in a commercial FL would they ? As the full bulkhead is there, no need to be able to tilt forward, don't even think I have ever looked to see if they do. If this is the case I would...
