New MAN TGE 3.180 Ordered October 2026

[rod_vw]

Our next new LWB TGE has been ordered direct from MAN via their Stoke on Trent outlet. To anyone else looking for a bespoke order and a good price I would recommend talking to them.

For the specification see attached pdf. for obvious reasons the prices are blanked out but rest assured I consider that I had a good deal.

Now just looking forward to delivery in January 2027 and getting my converter started on the job, hopefully I will keep you all posted on progress.

Thank you for that comment, I will keep you posted as things progress.

I'm currently on the trail of an 'as new' double passenger's seat for the rear, perhaps that will come to fruition this week. The plan will be for me and my converter to get as many hardware items together and on site to begin the conversion as soon as the van is delivered.

That would be more comfortable compared to a standard rear bench as I find the angle they're positioned at is almost at 90°, making the seat difficult to sit on. That won't be the problem in your situation using this seat.

nice spec. How much was it in total?

I've added a three year service contract plus an extra two years warranty. The total comes out less than £54k.

Seems like they're getting more expensive every year, does that also mean your current ride has less depreciation?
