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.
