Don't go for the 75bhp version as it's got no guts when it comes to acceleration but cruises well on motorways once you've got momentum going. LWB is better than SWB (bigger side door) and as for High Roof version that's a personal choice but gives a bit more space if you're looking to put a false floor in to keep step ladders etc out of the way.
As has been said many times before on this forum, buy as big as you can afford because you're bound to fill the space you have with all your gear.

My work van gets through quite a few front tyre`s, and is quite heavy on fuel, apart from that not too bad i suppose. Keep an eye on the cills for corrosion and stonechips to the front of bonnet. They seem to fetch good money when selling on though
