    i reckon yellow would have been the most popular colour to buy back in the seventies, most of the vans i see for sale these days that have been repainted are originally absinth yellow

    Interior of Original van

    Hi all
    Just came across a couple more pics of our van in the 80's must have been just before we sold her as the personal plates were no longer on the van, and the new station wagon is in the drive way.

    We always thought the van was buckskin, but it seems it was tan, so we have an exact replica of what we had....
