Wouldn't mind one of these, retro curb appeal, recycled carbon body on an aluminium frame, vibrant colours, British built, 1 ton payload.

It's crazy Franco where we've just been: you see all the top of the range decked out two tone Transporters (what, 90K or more?) in the beach carparks and the beautiful young ladies either resting or out on their longboard wearing very little and surfing gracefully... the longboards themselves are a couple of grand these days...
Who knows where the money comes from? I am not complaining. Flute was good though, I find I get more emotional listening to this version than the one in the movie.

Edit: same link Rokwiz posted.
He mentions there are a huge amount of orders, I can see this being very popular. Love the old one!

I think you are right! OK, we're going to take a small aside from the excellent Morris van concept, and the craze for top-end vans, and go have a look at the customer segment that buys them.
https://www.vanityfair.com/style/201...am-influencers Just wow on so many levels. The above article was responsible for much gnashing to teeth... https://thenewdaily.com.au/entertain...s-vanity-fair/ https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-...rfers/11326968 https://www.bodyandsoul.com.au/mind-...f6c0a94c21612b ...but you can see how the product placement (if worked hard enough to enough followers) might be able to afford a 90K van - particularly on finance! Our trip wasn't so far as Byron or Broken, but we did get the photoshoot walk past us, heavily pregnant bikini'd murfer with longboard and attendant photographer for beach sunset. It was beautiful, really. We also saw a van flash mob arrive on another day, all must have been keyed-in to a certain spot over insta, all arrived within 5 minutes as we were getting out. I can imagine how thrilled the 5 guys remaining in the quiet lineup must have been to have 20 glossed longboards arrive on their little spot within 5 minutes and have it descend into a retro-cool chaos... There's the imagery, then there's the reality.

Its a bit the same way they advertise caravans, beachfront camping drinking their wine over a beautiful sunset with not a sole around. Half the places you go to have NO CAMPING OR STAYING IN VEHICLES OVERNIGHT signs stuck everywhere, particularly in GSS NSW.
