You won't regret it James ....a 130 is surprisingly useful and dare I say comfortable on the longer journeys

dont know really.....
ideally a vehicle that i can use almost daily (2 children and 2 dogs and lots of stuff it seems) plus have an option to slide in sections to make rear suitable for camping from. a blank canvas so to speak! Cheers James 110 XS Utility 130 Puma Station wagon/camper (in the making) 90 Puma Hardtop |

What's the emoji for envy?
Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

I still remember first time I came to the camping weekend at Marks place you said you liked the 130. That's years ago!
Congratulations. Still regret I sold the first one but enjoying the one I have now. A very comfortable car for both my son and I. Not so for my wife who usually sits on the rear seat. 
Now... a thread is useless without pics, so... |

i like 130 ive had most of the drive train along with a couple of ex mod ambulances
tdi not bad but lacking on the mway td5 better but a lot have been worked hard and done big miles. ex mod ones has 40 mph limiters on and take a while to come to after removal puma even better. best being a ex western power xs with all the toys. just dont try to park ot anywhere small or tight looking forward to the build of yours |

Looks great....kinda wish I bought a 130. Would be more practical...I find the 110 DCPU just doesn't really have enough space in the buck/load bed. I nearly bought a 130 but put off by the length thinking it might be awkward! |

I’m on my second 130, run them for about 14 years now.
Very versatile vehicles, I use it for work every day as a landscaper and then it’s cleaned up for camping holidays. When parked next to other crew cab pickups they are actually that big BUT the others all have better turning circles😄. You just get used to where you can and can’t park it! |
