Thks popped up recently found the back of an industrial unit by us.

Hasn't seen the road since 2016 according to the MOT history, but it looks reasonably tidy and looks to have changed hands in December...so hopefully it has a future.

Slightly curious as to what it is... immediate reaction would be library van, but most of those I've personally seen were built on a 7.5 tonne chassis, which this isn't.  It's done time as a mobile church during its life...just curious what it was originally built as.

Ford chassis under there if the recorded vehicle details on the DVLA are to be believed.  Have to wonder if it's just a Cargo with a body plonked on it or if it's a dedicated bus type chassis.

curiosity got the better of me so I shoved it into my special tool

comes back as an iveco Ford Cargo 0709 if that means anything? (keep in mind this is a 3rd party tool so this part might be a bit wonky!)

and here's the keeper details, 0 colour changes it says, but in the MOT checker it comes back as orange! (but otherwise I find the keeper count is always pretty accurate)

curiously its body type is "specially fitted van" I have not seen that body type before now!

I keep seeing this around. It's so hideous that I really want one.

The Galue is rather attractive compared to that X1.  Damning with faint praise for sure, but only one of these two cars deserves fuel.

Now I like these but that's grimmer than a Womens Weekly. 

Spotted this Humber that looks like it's teleported from the set of Get Carter

Plush as fuck Daimler in Vanden Plas 4.2 spec. V12?

Weird huge Mazda MPV thing that I wasn't aware or forgot they sold here. Very American overall with column change.

WTO 50Y is quite well-known, and I think has featured in at least one magazine in the past. The years have clearly not been kind to it.

Was the Alpina E24 on an E-prefix plate and badged as a B10 3.5? If so, I think I might know which one it is......
