When I was thinking of buying a new van a little while back I'm pleased that the brochure didn't echoe the Book of the Ford Van from 1920, which I've just acquired in my book shop. Under the section titled "Will it Pay?" it states: "You can get all sorts of estimates and actual records of the cost of running a Ford van.... The truth is that much depends on the driver, a good deal on the annual mileage run, and something on luck.... And luck becomes a factor for if your van runs over a broken bottle just after new tyres have been fitted, bang go a good many 'saxpences'!" I think manufacturers might have told it more as it was back in the 1920s!
Just thought I'd share that one with you....
