eBay tat volume 3.

My uncle had an Opel Rekord van back in the day, same colour. Ireland seemed to sell well for car based vans; the motor tax structure really encouraged their purchase, cheaper motor tax.  

Citroen for a long time sold panel car based vans in Ireland. There was a BX and an Xsara van sold there.

Does anyone else remember that hire company where their entire fleet was yellow, and often estates, and always elderly?  Yeah.  That.

They do. 

Had one in for repair years ago and it was rapid but you do need to wind it up a bit but then it lifts its skirt and off it goes. 

Proper comfy/wafty. 

Economy obviously horiffic but that's really not the point of such a vehicle!!!!

" it was Mot'd unitl November 2018, so how bad can it be? "

Ha.  Hahahahahahahahaha.

 

Had one of these too, albeit a slightly later one with the Phaser 90 engine.  Drove it back from Wales to Norfolk.  It took a while, as I recall.

Having discovered that Peugeot 206s are good fun to drive, I keep finding myself looking for one with a bit more go than my 1.1  Hence finding this (hope it's not a re-post)

As you probably well know yourself, just about anything was available as a van here back in the day. I'd say the Peugeot 205 was probably most common, an XRAD van was king of the road for 18-24 year old lads...like this one:

Which can be yours....for six grand.
