    Hopefully one of our European members can help.
    It doesn't look like a Commer

    or a Bedford
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford_Vehicles
    It appears a bit too big for German or French origins.

    It's got very similar lines to a VW, but some differences too.
    Windshield, side body line, door cut line and rear wheelwell are fairly close.
    Front wheelwell, nose (could be added) A-pillar, rear door glass frame and door handle are off.

    As the picture shows, it's been sitting there a while, and will probably be there ten years from now. Too bad, it looks interesting and would probably be a pretty cool old camper.

    I was leaving a car show with my 21 year old daughter and saw it. When I pulled over to take the picture my daughter said, and I quote, "Dad, do not ask about that. Mom would make you live in it if you brought it home!"

    I think she's right...
