Vauxhall Movano are a good van, but buy parts from renualt or nissan becuase for some reason Vaux parts are more expensive but the excact same part.

I have just bought a Ford Transit MWB. Love it  Plenty of space for 8x4s , doors , windows , everything really !
Before that I had (and still have as its for sale) a vauxhall astravan 1.7CDTi with a roof rack which takes 8x4 sheets. It was great too ,very nippy van !

My Uncle thats a joiner has a Toyota Hiace. Fit them in the back of that easy enough plus he's got a roof rack too. Might be out of budget though

The astravan felt very much like driving a car , handled great and actually pulled pretty well, but the transit is dog slow !
Plenty of space though

Im a Joiner and my dads a Plasterer, we have 2 Vivaros There spot on, Mines a LWB and i get 8x4s in there no worries.
I had a 57Plate Caddy before this and hated it.
Highly Recomend the Vivaro/Trafic/Primastar mate, Brilliant Vans.
