And no it's not Postman Pat, or a professional rally driver
auditioning for a new temporary Christmas delivery job. Ahead of this weekend's
Dayinsure Wales Rally GB Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle were tasked with a rather
unusual 'shakedown'.
Earlier
this year, Citroen launched its new Dispatch van at the Commercial Vehicle Show
in Birmingham. The van actually went on sale last month and to highlight its 'robustness, versatility, and
advanced technologies' Citroën UK thought 'who better to assess it?'
than FIA World Rally Championship pairing Kris and Paul.
Taking time out of his other professional duties, Kris commented:
“I’m impressed, that was really good – I enjoyed it. With slippery conditions
on the stage, New Dispatch coped really well. It gave me the stability I needed
in the corners, with great handling, which made it easy and fun to drive.”
And if you're interested, you too could have a brand new 'rally
van' from £22,508 OTR.
