This looks a nice Variomobile

[CazPaul]

If it was a bit cheaper and I was in the market for one, an overcab of this quality would be on my list.
Class never goes out of fashion.

There’s many a good tune played on an old fiddle.

How good does that look first glance?

On a MAN manual only 7.5 metres so may get a bit of payload within the 7490kg, that should please jongood with that set up.

Same money I prefer this Paul although I accept the Mercedes chassis is not as heavy and capable as the MAN I think the van looks better.

Yes that looks much nicer Martin I agree, only thing that’s puts me off is the Mercedes 2.7 cdi 156bhp, we had that set up on our S820 6.4 tonne, it was terribly sluggish on anything but downhill.

OK to hell with the budget and the where can I park it argument and get a proper one

We looked at one in their showroom Paul but it was very short on storage compared to our Flair.

They’re the nicest quality I’ve seen by far, as soon as you step in it oozes class, ok I’ve not been in a Volkner though.

Would that be well over a million new Martin do you think?

No half that I reckon, you have to remember it is a 2006 vehicle so 2006 prices, I found an article from around 2002 that suggests a 1200 Perfect would start around Euro 400k, so I doubt it's actually lost much money.

I do like Vario's got very close to buying a 2005 A Class before we bought our clou, but it was on the older Atego chassis and typical Merc ride, too bouncy for the management.

I wouldnt consider this one because I prefer the view and cab access of an A class, not really bothered about weight either.

If something happened to our Clou I would be tempted by the Neoplan chassis one on mobile.de

Is it the photo or is the garage longer and lower than normal? Smartie size by any chance Martin?

There was one for sale a while ago that had been built specifically for the Smart Roadster although thinking about I think that was possibly on three axles so it might just be the camera, looks lovely whatever it is but possibly a bit big.

It doesn't look like it makes best use of its space
