The register holds no other series from the manufacturer Spier, so this text describes the vehicle class the P70 of 2015 to 2018 represents: a light chassis at the lower end of the class, just above the van boundary.

The P70 is driven by a four-cylinder engine of 2,143 cc displacement producing 100 kW. Power runs through a six-speed gearbox. At a length of 7,320 mm and a width of 2,300 mm, the vehicle rides on four wheels and a wheelbase of 4,330 mm; kerb weight is 2,932 kg.
At a gross vehicle weight of 5,300 kg the P70 falls into EU class N2 between 3.5 and 12 t. Kerb weight and gross weight differ by 2,368 kg, a generous payload margin for this class that points to variable loads rather than a permanently mounted body. At 100 kW from just over 2.1 litres, the four-cylinder engine reaches high specific output for a light distribution vehicle, matching brisk acceleration in urban and regional traffic.
Buying a light N2 vehicle such as the P70 second-hand, it pays to check the turbocharger and intercooler of the highly boosted four-cylinder engine and the condition of the clutch, which is stressed more heavily by frequent urban driving with many pull-aways. The brakes should be checked for uneven wear between the axles, and rust on the load bed or chassis frame is a common check point on vehicles used in distribution work.
