Retro work van?

[skoda_norman]

that is quite ugly!

also, it looks just like a little van- not a head turner....

I know, thats what I'm saying, it's a van he has already, he's using it to see if theres enough work, if there is he'll then go and buy something similar to whats been mentioned in this thread.

Only heads that'll turn would be Toyota Liteace enthusiasts, if there was any.

Thanks for the replies. So resourceful you lot!

Forgot to mention, it's going to be a valeting van! So really it has to be minty.

I'm thinking more of a classic, that red veedub van looks smart. I think a fiesta size van would bee too small.

A side load door would be good, even a pickup would be ok I think!

my thoughts exactly...

then all you have to do is...drop her on her guts and chrome EVERYTHING that fits into the chromers vat....and voila

and as a P.S. I love this thread....about time the commercial vehicles had their moment in the sun...

What a great picture! look at that guy behind the wheel. I bet it takes him about 1/2 an hour and loads of huffing and puffing just to get out of that van if/when he finally gets to where he's going.

I say 'if' cos he might get stopped en route for having no tax, and his van crushed there and then by the DVLA stasi.

Apologies for the photo size;



Early 60's Econoline

Who remembers that almost ford spruce green coloured pickup in retro cars ages ago??

If only this one had a proper pickup bed, e.g. sides...

It's a shame a mini van would probably be too small


There's always morris minor

It will be reliable though, the engine will last forever even if lightly maintained.



If you painted you van in Gulf colours that should get it noticed!

That Ecoline is sweet...I think I've got a hotwheels one like that.

Oddly enough, there`s a military Bedford not far from me. Half a block from where I got my first Skoda and a block from someone with a couple Samaras. Rev might like the neighborhood ;D

Front doors on the Econoline were fun to ride on.

;D ;D ;D ;D I'd come and have a look but it's just a little out of my way! ;D ;D ;D

[Benmarina16v]

Marina Van! ;D

Marina Pick-Up

Splended

[tonycocacola]

i want that van!!!!! ;D

whats in it?stock or modded?

[Benmarina16v]

it's a modded Mk1 with an 1800 B Series and Ital 2litre running gear. And rear seats!

[tonycocacola]

tasty,that'd make for a fun ride
mrsigma used to have an ital van,which although was stock,was still a top motor ;D
i had to decline the offer of my uncles '72 1300 coupe,around 8 years ago cos i had no space or cash.bit like now really ;D

[Benmarina16v]

It's always the way ain't it! I'd really like that Moggie Traveller I posted the other day that we fitted a 1800 K setries too but £12,000 is just a tad out of my range...

Marina and Ital vans are sooo cool to modify they just need to be done don't they!

[Revolution 9]

I like those Marinas!

[BigWig]

A55/60, Hmmm. Imagine that slammed with a set of lairy wheels and old style sign writing over it running a mad b series!

The marinas look cool! Would a K-series fit?

[Benmarina16v]

K Series would fit, the engine mounts would have to be changed as the K sits at an angle of about 60 degrees.

But other than that yep it would fit very nicely under the bonnet of a Marina.
