The Mini Clubvan looks cute and is fun to drive, but is it practical enough?
You fancy being your own boss. So you follow a dream and set up a cutesy little artisan business. The first couple of years are tough: you question the sanity of abandoning a perfectly reasonable 'proper' job, earning 'proper' money, to pursue a passion. Then the persistence pays off. There are finally some spare pennies in the business account. And naturally your thoughts turn to buying a van…
Truth is, you don't really need a van. The small hatchback you've been making do with until now is just fine. Still, think of the marketing benefits of seeing your company name out there roaming the streets, you think. And perhaps your accountant has suggested a potential tax advantage. It's a done deal, then: you're having a van.
