if you won the £170 Euromillions, you might consider buying one of these & donating it as the monthly raffle prize.

liked the stretched VW Samba.

I like the Bedford and the Commer. Certainly more eye pleasing than the boring white stuff we have now.

Oh happy days one of the first vehicles I drove was a Bedford with sliding doors. In the summer driving with the doors open and no seatbelt laws then, oh the joy

 

[phillybarbour]

Oh a good old Bedford.

When I first started working for royal mail in the late eighties I drove a Leyland EA with sliding doors great in the summer used to drive it down the M1 to London with door open lovely breeze.

arrived in the Algarve after a long summer drive down with the sliding door open ,of course !
nasty sunburnt right arm , and blisters on my right leg below my shorts-oww!

i always fancied fitting out one of these 'Noddy' vans
i gather they were ''driver designed'', in that a load of delivery drivers filled in a questionnaire and the manufacturers read it ! so ,very roomy cab with sliding doors and big windows,and very easy access to the engine
i heard the Ariel Arrow was also designed after a reader survey, but i'll believe owt !

Boy I feel old, I used to drive for British road services
