Came across this on the web, looks minor van ish but the wheel arch is wrong could be a Oxford van I suppose, any expert out there confirm what it is?
Update found a photo on the net of an Oxford and it looks like this is one, Inow know its not minor related but I for one find these photos fascinating.

It would be an interesting resto project for sure. I've seen worse that have been rescued

Aint that the truth
Would love to see that in the flesh, probably not as bad as it looks.

Yes - I was being litteral! I only drove 5 or 10 metres as the front left suspension was no longer connected to anything apart from the steering arm, and the exhaust fumes were coming straight through the non existant floor... but I did 'drive' the Raymobile a couple of times
The clutch then decided to seize fully open
probably not as bad as it looks.
probably much worse than it looks Kevin!!
You do indeed have rose tinted glasses - no wonder you liked my pick up! (I should have sold it while I had the chance
)

I'll get you to part with it one day
Reason i said it might be not as bad as it looks is sometimes you get cars parked under trees that look much worse because of all the algae on them - which i reckon might be an organic preservative
