Welcome! I had a T4 a few years back, bullet proof (mine had over 250k on, still on its original engine, gearbox and Turbo!) vans, and great if you are into the VW scene.
I am a big VW fan but got a mk2 Transit as they were all I grew up in and I don't think there's a better looking or driving van tbh.
Good luck with your search!

Reminds me of a joke we used to say in junior school,"why have skodas got heated rear windows.... to keep your hands warm when you re pushing it" (sorry)
My mate had a Lada riva 1500L with 30k on the clock, about 18 months ago, i so wanted that to make a sleeper with, like you say it was that bad it was good.
There is actually a Lada owners club can you believe ! and they supplied my mate with a genuine Lada NOS wing,
Lada estates look good as well.

Nothing wrong with the Lada a mate has a riva estate in blue lowered on maserati wheels looks ace. There was many jokes about Skodas l know l probably took the mick out of a mate of mine whos dad had them from new for years. But l love mine the smiles per miles is awesome. Now l need a cool old van, looked panel vans and now lm looking at coach built canpers
