We had one of those, a Ford Transit (not those wee ones nowadays), and a Leyland I think at the paint warehouse I worked at in Banbury.<br /><br />Was never a car type person, but I would like to have one of those old delivery vans without the side windows to restore and drive around in.Bodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06133345035141418538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120779025392845539.post-29747552990813588492013-05-08T21:47:36.249+01:002013-05-08T21:47:36.249+01:00In the UK we had the Commer FC van, which was a ve...In the UK we had the Commer FC van, which was a very similar shape and size.

Will have to try and get a couple of photies of it.
