Was it an ex- service vehicle in Germany? Im just thinking due to the colour that it may be an ex post van. Keep up the good work

The interior of your van is from a Devon Moonraker. Not sure if it's original because I don't know if Devon converted left hand drive models.

It has a sticker outline on the roof of 'cassandra of holland ' but nothing else in the cab or on the cupboards .But can't find any details about them.
The whole interior is going to be replaced .I might try doing it myself, as the budget is small due to the bodywork and respray costs
