Guys, any ideas what blue this is and how much this van is likely to have been lowered?

Looks like an Autosleeper to me but I could well be corrected.

'Sleeper pop top yes, but that van has been changed, windows look too big to be Autosleeper.
Lowered?... yes.
must be a choppy ride compared to a full floater

factory windows so an early minibus / caravelle

the front is lower , I guess 50-60 at the front 30-40 on the rear if they are 15 inch wheels
maybe the lesser numbers if 16 inch wheers

non factory blue so any guess is good!

Could possibly be a Subaru colour mf?! Mines an o2c world rally blue, but there are a few different variants of blue that they do (as with most models). Luckily, I knew mine was a Subaru colour when I bought it and chanced a couple of tester pots off eBay to get a match. Here's a link to mine, you can see the different shades where the light hits it so makes it all the more difficult:

Thanks. Yours looks great 300CE. Mine is in bodywork hospital at the moment so thinking of a colour change and height drop. I'm running 16s at present. What would be the max sensible drop? 60mm front and rear?

Cheers for the kind comments mf, the pics do flatter her as she does have a few body issues that need sorting, but she's ok for the time being. My van isn't lowered as i prefer the original set up, but i'm sure someone will be able to advise. The stance on your bus looks pretty cool - are your wheels Penta's?

sliders a poor fit

Is it just me or is that sliding window in upside down/wrong side?

almost looks like the sliding door is off a SA 1990s bus with the bigger window - but early shell so cut and shut door or c pillar replaced
rear window looks like it's assembled wrong
looks like spoiler parts have been filled and joined - smoothed - but if you hit anything probably won't flex much and will break
F o r d Trannie blue ?

It's got a rare sliding window on the same side of the sliding door.
Been looking for one of them for some years.

That number plate isn't legal

bliddy heck ,poor OP only wanted the colour

I was waiting to see if anyone said anything about that!
