Did Radford or Crayford or someone similar do these? I wouldn't have thought so; I don't think either coachbuilder did this kind of conversion. My guess is that it was carried out by some specialist firm in New Zealand. Again, one of our Kiwi friends might be able to help

Again, one of our Kiwi friends might be able to help The 'conversion' was quite an easy one to do with a fibre-glass top added to the van. A similar conversion was carried out on the original minivan I think and other vans. Probably more than one UK company did them and the fibre-glass bit could have been shipped to places like Australia and New Zealand or made locally.

Animatronixx ◊ 2019-12-29 20:57	Martin Walter did pretty much everything! He crowned the Queen, he made the dinosaurs, built utilies, campers, hearses and whatnot. I'd like to think he also built this one, but can't prove it. So take this as an ID without identification.
dsl ◊ 2019-12-29 22:01	antp wrote Who's driving it?? Orange front indicators on a UK van were Oct 66+ (and therefore 1965+ Ford Anglia Van, not a Thames name), so either NZ used orange indicators much earlier than UK, or carried the Thames name for longer. All-red rear lights with no orange part were presumably an NZ feature??
GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2021-03-29 14:39	dsl, the drivers can be seen in the main pic! Members of some English band I don't think anybody's heard of...
dsl ◊ 2021-03-29 17:37	^ Half Man Half Biscuit? Crispy Ambulance? Ned's Atomic Dustbin? Carter the Unstoppable Sexmachine? Cheap Mike & the Feedbacks? Lactose Belligerent? (not totally sure about the last two, but the others are genuine).
