I have no idea how many Van versions of the 245 were produced, but mine is the only one I have ever seen that has not had the steel load bay cut out and back seats installed. I feel like that places some responsibility on me. There are probably only a handful left in original condition. The Chassis rails are bent, although the kink is forward of the suspension so the wheels still line up. The whole car is about an inch out of line at the front. Won't show once I've re-alligned the bonnet, but I'll know.

My family had this car when it was brand new. I was brought home from hospital in it when I was born. When I have it re-registered I'm going to pay extra to have the orginal plates re-issued.

I understand the feeling of responsibility. I have to keep it running, not as a show car, but as a working van, shifting loads of stuff around for me like it was built to do.

Hope I can make it go.
