Sherpa Freight Rover LDV alert

[barrett]

God I love Sherpas. I think a really early panel van is actually my dream vehicle, and I keep kicking myself for not being brave enough to buy one (actually a minibus) a few years ago when I had the chance. Oh well. Here's some of the better ones I've seen over the years.

I think this might be my favourite thing on planet earth (sorry Ms Barrett!) and I genuinely think about it quite often. Tundra green!

This was mental. It's from 'the 80s', geddit? Dead now, I assume

This is an oddball – an electric jobbie, which was apparently a proper factory thing. This was a wreck when I saw it a decade ago so if it's still there I doubt there's much left. Shame.

@barrett I thought the blue/white was the old NORWEB colours but I only found this

Years ago I had a bright yellow convoy, lwb, with single wheel back axle so only 3.1t gross weight. It had the old Peugeot 2.5td engine in it. Ex city link and pretty bloody straight. I did a full camper conversion on it. Insulated, proper caravan wall boarding, seitz windows, cassette toilet and shower, and a decent oven and hob. I've racked my brain so many times to try and remember the number plate to see how long it lasted after I sold it. I absolutely drowned it in cavity wax so hopefully it didn't rust out. I'm pretty certain it was over weight when I'd finished, should really had found a twin wheeler.
