I don't know cow print fur sounds very Milton Keynes

Nice paint job

It reminds me of a Ford Commer van I owned many years ago

I thought Commers were part of the Rootes Group ?

It was a Ford Thames van, it had the worst column gear change I have ever used

apparently they were originally going to sell the econoline in the uk as a right hand driver version but the British crash test people decided that the pickup was too dangerous as when unloaded and with heavy braking the mid mount engine could have enough momentum to tip the van arse over tit!

scary shizzle

I think you'll find the owner is a VW nut as well.
