Nice little workhorse Paul. Not being a Froggie speaker -what does it say on the van in the first pic?
Just checked the link to your website by the way. Some fantastic sculpture there.

The van belonged to a plumber, Dapannage means means breakdown,,,sort of ::)
 Next time you break down on a French autoroute tell them you are en-panne!
Thanks for the compliment Andy. 8)

I had the slightly mad idea of putting the body on a Suzuki 4x4 chassis ,,,,,,,,,but I would probably never be able to register it here and Suzuki's aren't cheap either  :(
