Mine is only a 2.6L but I was driving last week and saw a Cabstar that belongs to one of the posters on this thread and it was going 90mph! I could only just keep up in my Astravan to catch the logo and see that it was the 3.0L version. I think I would go for the 3.0L if possible but I still wouldn't drive it at 90mph! Mine doesn't really go above 70mph.

i blew the engine up on a mark 2 transit a few years ago and my mate in the garage put something like a 3.0l granada scorpio engine in (cant be sure of this ) anyway it went like a rocket,i had 110mph out of it up the A5 not clever but i was only 20 and there were no speed cameras then
i dont particularly like doing over 60 mph in any sort of commercial vehicle (astravans are a bit different as they are car derived)

Driveway company employees are told 70mph and no more

yeah right

It wasn't mine as mine isn't signwritten and I'd have recognised my driver and I know mine doesn't go 90mph!
