CAMBRIDGESHIRE-based Town & Country Flooring is set to buy more than 40 Volkswagen vans over the next few years.

The company, in St Ives, needs the vehicles with the capacity to carry rolls of carpets four metres wide. Norwich-based Robinsons Van Centre provided the solution using a Volkswagen LT32 medium-wheelbase van. It moved the single passenger seat in the LT32 to new fixings at the rear of the driver's seat and removed the bulkhead, so drivers are able to roll carpet through to the dash area of the van.
