Puff The Magic Wagon!

iTrader: (2)

Went to France at the beginning of the week. On the way down the A1 into Paris, I was passed by a series of 6 Mercedes Sprinter Vans - Long Wheel Base High Top - identical models but from different years - UK reg.

Coming back up the M20 from Folkestone heading towards London, I went past a further 6 identical Mercedes Sprinter vans - same spec as ones seen in France - except these were French registered!!

Any ideas anyone? What are these unmarked Mercedes Sprinter convoys running around Europe's motorways?

Maybe they change plates to avoid camera fines

Could belong to Eurotunnel/P&O and used for staff shuttles.

Were the French ones all registered to the same area?

Keep to the left if you see them coming through, it's amazing how sprinter vans sit at 100+ on the motorway and don't slow down.
