I believe that is a Citroen H Van(?)
A lot of them are now being used as Pizza/Coffee selling venues - often the engine is removed and they collect them later on a low loader.
Today I saw....
This:
Who I later saw going in the opposite direction to me in Happy. Driver gave me a big thumbs up
This:
Which was tiny, I mean, not much bigger than a Go-Kart. Had a FIAT badge so I am guessing it's based on a 500?
And finally this:
What a corker eh?

Yes Steve, still had the original supplying dealer sticker in the rear window. Probably never been off the island (rather like a lot of the people that are born here).

Yep it's an H van, a lot of the static coffee/ food ones that you see are repro shells made by a UK based company.
I see an H van every time I go to my workshop.

Must have been a show nearby today as I saw a green Riley Farina...either a 4/68 or 72
followed a few cars later by a Triumph Renown and then a Mustang (Bullet style) in the Shelby white and blue stripe scheme....
I'd have the Riley for sentimental reasons...being sad like that.
Anyone else would have had the Mustang.

Came across this Sprint yesterday afternoon in the car park of my local shops. Couldn't resist the photo opportunity. It turned out to be owned by a nice old chap from Eccles (near Rochester) who was happy to spend a couple of minutes chatting about our cars. He bought it in 2009.

We saw a few of these last week in Oxford. All converted as snack vans.

They're everywhere in London, a few weeks ago I counted 15 of them selling food along the South Bank!
