Ingo ◊ 2011-06-03 12:55	Sorry dsl, but no comment by me about crips For allergy reasons I'm avoiding them, so I'm unable to contribute own experiences.

They started in 1954 to build these for the biscuit factory Bolletje; since 1959 officially approved by Volkswagen. About 1000 were built. The base was a Pick-up, stretched by 90 cm, and given a van body. But should it be listed as Van/MPV or as Pick-up?
