Automotive Sprinter – a body conversion on a long Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis: 2.1-litre four-cylinder, gross weight 3,500 kg, wheelbase 4,330 mm
Automotive Sprinter is built on the chassis of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, the German manufacturer's light van range built at plants across Europe. With a 4,330 mm wheelbase, this vehicle uses one of the longer Sprinter chassis variants, needed for bodies with a long, continuous load area rather than a compact box. The Automotive entry in the type field refers to the body builder rather than to the chassis maker.

The register lists a four-cylinder engine of 2,143 cm³ for this model. Kerb weight is 2,687 kg, gross vehicle weight 3,500 kg. The vehicle is 7,070 mm long, 2,200 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 4,330 mm, and reaches a top speed of 90 km/h.
At an overall length of 7,070 mm but a gross vehicle weight of only 3,500 kg, the vehicle stays within the light N1 class and can be driven on a category B licence, even though its long wheelbase suits bulky or long loads – a trade-off many trade and service businesses accept deliberately for the simpler licensing and toll regime.
For a used example, check for corrosion on the chassis and wheel arches, especially around the long rear overhang, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, brake system operation, and the seals of the doors and body; drivetrain parts run through the Mercedes-Benz dealer network, body parts through the respective builder.
