Our Dealer told us the reason was because of the crash several years ago...Many workers were retrenched as dealers closed their doors or slowed right down...Now the economy has picked up once again and new vans being ordered more, they are left with a shortage of skilled workers to back them up..Many workers left the trade and went onto other work..It takes time to retrain and build up the workers once again..Not sure if this is true or not, but it sounds feasable... LOL

 Vans While van builders take their time for whatever reason.
I think that they should take a long hard look over their shoulder at the emerging giant of all manufactures CHINA.
How long before they see the demand for cheap but good quality vans.
Japan got in on the motortrade act a long time ago by copying and then improving on others ideas.
Look were they are now

Ordered a car some years ago, it arrived right on Christmas. Gave me the jimmys every year because rego and insurance was due Christmas Eve. Had to pay this out of the Christmas Club money. Made sure the current cars rego didnt fall anywhere near Christmas. Cheers Ross
