RoadworkUK Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 That Alfa Daily is a photoshop isn't it ? I'd say more Painters Workshop on a Commodore 16. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 These represent the tools of my trade as a port agent very many years ago.... Had 2 Renner 4s, killed one within 4 months in a dust up with a Singer Vogue, the other died a more natural death. The Simca I had was actually badged as Dodge, Talbot and Simca in three different places and was orangier than this pic. That died too, having shat its coolant on the M3 after an urgent airport run. The Escort was far better but much duller scruff, cros, Junkman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 When Martini & Rossi had a bottling plant in the docks there was one of these things running around in their livery.

Sheefag Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I nearly made the mistake of buying a Vanette years ago. Slowest and loudest thing on the planet, We'll have to work hard to find a shiter van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I liked my Vanette but I'm mental. Not sure it's slower or louder than a Transit 2.5Di or LDV Convoy and they handle well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 In the face of 1st hand experience, I stand corrected.Did the LDV Cub differ in any way apart from the badge?Not really, I think they were all high roof versions, and the specs were slightly different.I like them but they are definitely shite.Fitting the 2.0TD installed in Japanese versions would have made them a lot more palatable.

Sheefag Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Did they ever sell the Ebro Trade in the uk? They certainly did, they all seemed to be either white or orange. They had EBRO in large letters with 'Powered By Nissan' in a smaller font. I seem to remember they all rotted like bastards. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Ebro-Trade-Van-1985-86-UK-Market-Foldout-Sales-Brochure-/171620373451 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefag Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Whilst searching for the above I came across a Nissan CABSTAR brochure. I was struck by how simple it would be to change CABSTAR to BASTARD.Hope this helps someone here. worldofceri and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Is it me, or do those alte Schule Merc vans look like they've already had an accident? Anyway: more Alfa Romeo goodness, this time the Milanese version of the Fiat Ducato/Talbot Express, the imaginatively-named AR6...

Supernaut Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Ram ProMaster...FWD with a Pentastar V6 up front...To me that sounds insane. It could be absolutely Ace though... That's nothing. Apparently the American market Transit has options for AWD, and the Ecoboost (twin turbo!) V6. Now that would be a giggle. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1fan111 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 another promotional vehicle, now ok, Worthies is pish, but if there is nothing else to drink, it'll do.... they aren't the only brewery to have the same idea, this one i've not seen or heard of, and looks like its built up on a 2CV chassishttps://www.bushys.com/history/bottlecars/ They are 2cv based and I'm sure one maybe based on a dyanne or have square headlights fitted.

It also made a delightful racket, 110621_altfahrzeuge_trapo_v4_typ-L-406-D_1969.jpg My mate has one, which has been in the family since new. Hugely slow, with only 60 bhp but feels incredibly well built. Don't know if they're standard, but it even has grease nipples on the door hinges!

mercrocker Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 This miserable bastard was an attempt by Standard-Triumph to break into the medium delivery van market alongside Ford's Thames, the BMC J vans and the Bedford CA. Originally bestowed with the Standard Ten engine/gearbox (necessitating a cack-handed reverse-rake gear lever arrangement) it soon became obvious that 948cc was not going to haul half a ton very quickly......Later vans had the Ensign version of the wet-liner Vanguard engine. It lived into the 1960s as the Leyland Fifteen and Twenty and even longer in India. scruff, Cleon-Fonte and Junkman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
