The Autohome had what the Highwayman never got: The bed on top of the cab. A great opportunity missed on the Highwayman, if you ask me. Maybe not design-wise, but definitely from a practical view point.

And when was the last time you saw a Commer van with a white bakelite steering wheel, I wonder?

I didn't even know it existed ! Commer porn if ever there was such a thing :D

Dave's van has a white/old english white steering wheel now :)

That is a reminder for me to also get the gear selector surround tidied up!
