    ^^^^ regarding the 'Creans Brewery' van, IIRC that type of van is/was built in the UK utilising a (modern) Ford Transit chassis.

    Transit was the first one that came up my mind. It definitely isn't a classic at all.

    Front of the beetle doesn't look so bad.

    That wing though...ought to be laws against stuff like that.

    it might have some aerodynamic effect at higher speeds ... well, if that car is able to achieve such speeds of course :D

    Volvo 300 is either MY84 or MY85 1.4 CVT, the auto was only ever attached to the 1.4

    I think it looks ok, put a tailgate on and corner pieces back on the front bumper and it'd look great, the green Golf without bumpers looks rough though.

    Why would someone remove the tailgate? And the smoothed bed floor looks odd. And the colour is crap.

    Yap.

    But I too can't fathom why someone would do that to a work vehicle though?

    Maybe I'm too old, I'm 5 years off my 30th, but I just don't get the whole scene thing.

    ah its been a few years since a caddy could be regarded as a "work vehicle"
    Thats a bit like compairing a Massey 35 to a 3600. Yes in its day it was a light commercial but the today vw equivalent would be transporter pickup. 2x faster, 2x load capacity



    As for the whole scene thing, its a bit like you dressing nice for a night out you get dressed for the place your going, people like to dress their cars for the places they like to hang out

    And you are posting in the classic section? Ok, I get the whole "i dont like the colour' thing, but if you dont 'get it', why comment? :confused:

    As for the "5 years off my 30th" thing, why the puzzle? You're 25. Most people will understand that on it own.
