Two screen minutes later there's a pristine shiny green Sherpa with different sign-writing and chromed mirror wheel covers, delivering peacocks. Nothing found for HKP 465X However my hunch is - that despite the glistening make-over - it's the same van. Same grey filler cap, lights under the rear bumper, sticker in rear door window .....

I think we've always fudged the pre-K2 ones as Leyland unless proof otherwise due to the complexity of the branding. Here we do have proof of status as a Freight-Rover.
