That is rather handsome, but to be road legal for my current licence status, it would need to lose a pedal, or lots of weight and a wheel. Lovely truck though, the proportions are great and the box body would make a really fine camper, shopping vehicle or place to hide when the zombies come.
In the mood for looking at highly reflective vehicles on the web, I found the following:

It's narrow enough to fit on some UK roads, has a full sized toilet seat, is very, very shiny and should be pretty cheap to run as it's coal fired, or has Google translated that last thing incorrectly from the Italian text on the listing?

The missus wouldn't like it, she's not into slumming it, for her
glamping has to have some sort of finesse.

Not sure why but I always have had a soft spot for classic commercials and very much like the idea of something like this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fordson-7V-Vi ... 3641.l6368 - Would make a great vehicle transporter / recovery truck especially has it is powered by a flathead V8
Would also very much like one these but now way out of my price league

Wow! It's a council scheme with wheels.
Rich, I found an example of the best Datsun Cherry ever made, especially for you:

Is that not the one with a self igniting wiring harness made from damp spaghetti and old boot laces ?

Certainly not. The bootlaces were almost new and sometimes lasted the length of the warranty..
