Default FG Panel van - spotted

Saw this in traffic on the Bolte Bridge thursday afternoon, thought it would be worth taking a pic:



Driving passt it but didn't get a pic from the front, but it was an FG panel van! I liked it

Any one ever seen this one before round Melbourne?

Is it just me or does it look to have been extended a little between the rear wheels and the rear bumper? Needless to say that is one ugly van.

The rear and sides are definitely of AU/BA/BF decent, but if u look closely at the front guard it is flared very similar to a FG

Be a good ambulance. I actually think a FG panelvan could pay for itself simply from the sales from Telstra - replacing all the Falcon wagon sales and Hiace van sales
