Where has she been all her Life?!

Plump Donkey · Feb 22, 2019

Can anyone help?

I'm trying to figure out the past of my 2014 110 but it didn't come with any history. It has Dover shutters but not the usual ones that are cut into the tub like utility companies and there is no paneling inside (well not anymore).

Anyone seen these before or know what the van might have been used for?

Here's some pics:

She's a thing of beauty - could be an ex power grid vehicle, anything really.

She's a thing of leaky! Managed to pick up a couple of side panels to replace them from a 96 model, hope they'll fit!

They all leak, it's part of the charm and the reason sensible folks don't have carpet

Carpet... I think i've heard of this, Is that the stuff you put on the roof to stop the condensation dripping on your head?

Looks like it could have been ex utility, or mobile fitters van for heavy plant, we had a 130 with similar shutters in the back body for easy access to the welder and spanners.

Cant be an ex mechs/fitters van as its really straight with no bent panels that I can see!

Maybe SAS ice cream van, does it have any musical chimes?

When you replace them , keep them safe, I reckon there is good money to be had there. Maybe for an overlander / camper conversion.

Cheers

The V5c should provide details of the previous keeper?

They don’t anymore. Something to do with the newest GDPR.

Those lockers are fitted to every fire tender I've ever been in. Maybe its an ex rescue vehicle, are the door jams red?

There appears to be a maker's label on shutters maybe contact them and see if they know what application they made them for as a starting point..

That would explain the excellent overall condition of the machine.

The Shutters are by Dover and pretty similar to the shutters we have on our Hilux fire waggon at work but white seems to be its original colour. They're good quality but they are pretty noisy when you're driving so I will be changing them over the next few weeks (theres no money in kebabs anymore)

Maybe they'd be good for an overland trailer?
