Here is mine.
Sadly it doesn't look quite as good as it did here now. It lived for all of it's previous life at the RAE in Farnborough and was parked just behind the building I worked in. It didn't get used much but having stood outside it has suffered from rust a lot.
I was made redundant but later went back to work there and I spotted it again with a note saying for disposal. I managed to win it in a sealed bid auction and ended up using it everyday to get to work.
It hasn't been driven for a couple of years but I have a few panels to start fixing it when I get the chance, will be nice to drive it again. I actually found it fairly nice to drive apart from the heavy steering. There is a limited amount of travel on the front suspension so it was made quite stiff and had antiroll bars both ends. The only mechanical mod I did to it was fit a twin choke carb to it. It was very slow before but at least it felt like it was accelerating, quite funny as the noise it made didn't fit the van at all !
