These probably represent quite a large percentage of all the road going examples...

I like them, what are they? I'm guessing some sort of Honda van, and what was the event?

Dodge A100's all of them.

If I remember correctly, in one episode of Wheeler Dealers they screwed one up by swapping out the Slant Six for a non-Mopar V8. Imbeciles!

Love the A100 pickups, much nicer looking than the similar competing cab over Ford Econolines.

Might have something to do with this one though biggrin

Sorry, should have said... I spent all weekend in the company of U.S. van enthusiasts and forgot normal folk wouldn't recognise them!
Quite right tho', they are 1960s Dodge A100s.
The blue pick up is mine and is possibly the only one on the road over here, tho' I do know of another close to roadworthy and a couple on the continent.
The white and gold camper is an Explorer, based on the long wheelbase Dodge A108 and very rare even in the States.
Three v8 auto's and I've a slant six with a manual column change in mine.

As for "The Little Red Wagon" - simply a legend in drag racing history.

Pic's were from the Vanditos' Vanjam held in a field just outside Banbury - was like the summer of love (but with old folks), there were some more "modern" vans there as well...
