    It isn't a higher roof, it is a lower roof at the front. It has been chopped and lowered or a wagon piece has been welded on.

    I'm sure I've seen a pic of a van with the door windows half covered like that one.....or was it a popular thing to do and there were a few of them around like that.

    The above pic is of Invader 2001.... I'd say the Ebay van is someone's poor attempt to copy it....

    That has to be some of the worst bodywork and welding I've ever seen... backyard butcher... she'll be right mate... 8Kg of bog and you'll never know...:errf:

    I remember seeing that van many years ago in magazines, murals were big back then 70's and the 80's. I have a photo I took somewhere of a cool wizard on the side on a cream coloured van at one of the Sydney Motor Shows will have to try and dig it out.

    hj308, I remember the Wizard van. I saw it out at Warragamba Dam in the late 70's, when we had a gathering there once. Was very cool indeed.

    No, but the thought did cross my mind.
    I know of a number of people that are onto it though.

    Would LOVE to see that one. (Bit of a WIZARD fan).
