3 stars, this was only in the one episode perhaps maybe the producers thought it was too much of a contrast to the Mustang and it was replaced without explanation with this /vehicle_51400-Renault-Kangoo.html |

Should this be Origin: Japan Made for: UK? -- Last edit: 2006-09-05 19:13:38 |

Yes, but the design is Japanese, we don't put Volvo S60 as Belgian car, althought it is made in Ghent. |

Not sure that the design is japanese, it was a project made by both GM UK and Suzuki... a shared project... a problem for listing that on our site  (like Ford Mondeo/Contour designed by both Ford Europe and Ford US) |

The design of the Bedford - Later Vauxhall - Rascal and Midivan was 100% Japanese. I worked on both vehicles for a parts supplier contracted to provide local content parts and all design drawings were in Japanese. The design responsibility was not with GM (IBC Limited in this case). |

Then we could list it as Japanese... |

I think BeanBandit's suggestion of Origin: Japan Made for: UK should be used looking at Sunbar's inside info .gif ";)") |

It's explained in the DVD commentary. This episode was the pilot, for the full series (which was made over a year later) it was decided that the use of this van was too similar to the Trotters' three wheeled van in 'Only Fools and Horses' and they didn't want to be seen to be making the same 'comedy van' joke. |
