Supposedly Supervan 2 formed the base for Supervan 3 which is a shame really. Ive personally always favoured the mk2 Transit shape, especially in the period works livery it was done in. Can anyone confirm this?

The whereabouts of Supervan 1 however seems all a bit of a mystery, can anyone shed any light on the situation?

For those less familiar...

First one is a Gurney-Weslake V8. I believe of the GT40 and possibly Eagle F1 cars.

Supervan 1, although the most conservative in looks is by far the most exuberant. It would be great to find out whereabouts it is these days, even if its rotting somewhere.

I knew Terry Drury built the van but was under the impression it left their hands a long while back. Would be great to find it, if of course it is still in existance.
