dsl ◊ 2013-06-28 03:51	Getaway vehicle for an armed robbery - be still, my aching sides - and is chased by the police Marina and a motorbike (not captured due to blur). And Willis shoots at it from his Marina. Interesting windscreen - looks like a rear window from something else (but would a rear window have the usually required laminated glass? or are ice cream vans allowed special dispensation?) DVLA details for DLG 270K are: Date of Liability 01 03 1992 Date of First Registration 13 12 1971 Year of Manufacture Not Available Cylinder Capacity (cc) Not Available CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour BLUE Vehicle Type Approval Not Available
chris40 ◊ 2013-06-28 08:12	I think it's a CF230 with a Cummins body. I don't know the origin of the windscreen, but it was common enough on ice cream vans and IMHO could well have been the screen of something else rather than a rear window. Even loaded with ice-cream paraphernalia a CF would be quite agile, particularly if it had the 2.3 engine (as my CF did - and that was known to surprise Cortina GTs).
