Wheel them in

I don't know if you have any ideas, but I am looking for a vehicle that I can have modified to take a wheelchair-bound person, which I guess principally means having a lot of height. I have seen such a vehicle, modified and being also registered as a Taxi locally, and noticed it was a Peugeot 5 door but didn't spot the model. I have been considering a VW Transporter, which is very large, and was after something much smaller.

The best of these vehicles are purpose modified with drop-down rear floor ramps, by people like Brotherwood and Gowrings.
