The other clue is the early vehicles had two starting handle holes in the grille, as the engine and gearbox were offset to give space for the driver. I cannot see a plate on this van suggesting it may be a survivor. On the other hand, it might have dropped off. The front view is no help, as the number plate is unreadable and I can’t see any starting handle holes to count them.
