Sorry, but I find it damn ugly. More suitable for the Army me thinks.

Yeah it` pretty smart! But really do you want to turn up like the 5th Panzer Division.

It isn't meant to be pretty, it's extremely functional.
You'd be thankful for that in a Siberian winter.

Pretty smart, NOT pretty, or if you prefer `Wicked man, checking the free hubs, awsome dude` Better?

 

[Vipar]

PS it’s your turn to fill it up. It will out last the fuel ban that is approaching 2035 then you can have it turned into 25 dustbins ?

A misunderstanding I think. My post wasn't aimed at your use of pretty smart but just the fact it isn't pretty.

Chill lol I am with you, I am aware it`s a vehicle purpose built for a specific use. Still think it`s pretty smart looking though.

Can't wait to see the next version of Top gears Campervan racing it will take them a while to demolish it...….

I would just love to know what proportion of these "actionman" vans actually get used in the environment they were built for?

 

[jockaneezer]

Putting that step in and out would be a pain mind ?

Mmmmm White with an Orange stripe ?
I wonder if it's an ex Dragoman bus, as they use Merc's with Irish registration plates.
No way that rear body is 35 years old!

In which case this vehicle will most definitely will have seen the world !
I travelled through South America for several months in the early 2000's in one of these

Looks a bit too flash for Dragoman but going back to the 80's their vehicles were ex=military brilliant way to go and now they have also lifted the age restriction but I believe they are still weary concerning health which is understandable

We were parked up in a French aire that was all railed off, the place was almost empty, one of these pulled into the space. Behind us, even though he was well in his space it was very intimidating, it seemed to tower over us. It was a German made van, all that was missing was the machine gun in the turret.
