The register lists here 2 versions from the four-cylinder of 2,496 cm³, unladen weights from 1,870 to 1,920 kg, gross weights from 2,600 to 2,770 kg and widths from 2,010 to 2,120 mm.
Retro vans of this kind are built in small series and aimed at bakeries, delicatessens and other businesses wanting to stand out on the street with a historic-looking vehicle, often on the basis of modern commercial-vehicle chassis and technology. The concept combines a historic-looking appearance with contemporary reliability and ease of maintenance in daily delivery use.
On these small-series bodies, the condition of the bodywork and paintwork, the tightness of windows and doors, rust on the chassis frame and the condition of engine and brake system count; parts for the body, owing to the small production numbers, are often available only from the manufacturer itself, while wear parts for the chassis can be sourced through the regular commercial-vehicle trade, which eases the day-to-day upkeep of these unusual vehicles.
