• Whiteacres is converting 10 Volkswagen LTs to provide a nearside loading door. Four are for Nottingham City Council and the others for Epping Forest District Council.
The existing crewcab is transferred to the opposite side using a new offside VW panel and sill section, and employing a new well-step. The existing well-step is left on the offside, transformed into a storage locker for tools.
An electric crewcab door lock operates on release of the handbrake — so the rear door remains locked in transit.
The conversion cost is 2853. Further options include a ply floor overlaid with penny matting at 270.
Windows, an option at 2168, may attract car tax payable at the statutory rate unless a specialist body is fitted, rendering it exempt, says Whiteacres.
