AleX_DJ ◊ 2015-08-24 14:20	It should be 'Service Van' if I'm not wrong
eLMeR ◊ 2015-08-24 15:21	Class: Van / MPV? Shouldn't it be more likely Cars, Wagon, as it's just a 2-door one? -- Last edit: 2015-08-24 15:22:17

dsl ◊ 2015-09-01 00:48	Sold in UK as Ami 8 Service Van Feb 70 to Dec 77, 7½cwt or 48.5 cubic ft capacity from 602cc (so apparently more capable than 6cwt Minor van with 1098cc). Seems Ami Super Service van with 1015cc also existed, but never offered in UK.

What use the dealers made of them is unknown, and whether they were allowed to unofficially punt them off the forecourt to eager buyers .....
