General Comments
For getting a bunch of people anywhere cost effectively, the LDV Convoy is the minibus to choose. The Convoy uses Ford Transit turbo diesel engines and running gear and as such parts are easy to find and pretty cheap. Don't let the relatively low power output put you off as the engine delivers bundles of torque low down. Although not exactly a boy racer van, it will sit reasonably happy at 70 on the motorways.
