    Ok guys a challenge for you.
    Buzz got me an octavia in Kerry which I picked up today.

    A friend is looking for a Mercedes mini bus. 16 seats with a boot.
    Has anyone come across one on their travels?

    It will be very difficult if not impossible to find 16 seater van size minibus with luggage space.
    If you want space for luggage on 16 seater you are probably looking for something like that:

    Does it have to be mercedes?

    Is it not better to get normal van size 16 seater (like transit) and use trailer for luggage. Would come much cheaper to run.

    It's not for me so I'll need to ask. Was down picking up my octavia in Kerry (thanks bazz) and my friend asked me about it when I told him how boards got me a new car:)
    He wants to add it to his fleet of tour busses.

    Does he need the full 16 seats? A transit lwb with the double wheels at the back would be my preference, and have the back two seats on quick release, so they can be taken in/out for luggage space.
    Whats the budget?

    If he needs the 16 seats, then something like this would be nice. Has boot space aswell.

    Transits are fine, But a Factory Ford conversion is no where near as good as 'Bus Conversion' Sprinter. Sprinter be more reliable too.

    How much are they looking to spend?
