Or if you're based in London and can save on the congestion charges, or you're a local council, or a cpompany that is pushing their green credentials. There are a fair few customers taking electric vans. Most go back to base at night so are charged then.
The LTV isn't what 99.99% of van customers want though, which is why there are so few around

Yup, if you can find the 'Aero' model, it should have around 390BHP! Same engine that was in the Corvette of the same era. But they sold very few of the bigger engine version for some reason and most people bought the 6.0 in the Trailblazer SS model instead. Not a great car, but the SS was a bit of a sleeper when compared with other SUV's at the time. And being an LS2 engine, very simple to make small modifications to drive up power. Cheap here in the US too...

Have another stunning BMW, the 1969 2002 GT4 Fastback study by Frua. Lovely front end but the designer seems to have lost interest by the time he got to the rear.
From the A Pilllars back, it’s like they just traced over a Firat Dino coupe, but stuck on some Bedford CF back lights to make it look like a new design. Nice though.

Not a car, but did find it interesting that they made the Bedford CF in an ultra-poverty fleet spec where a rear bumper, passenger seat and factory paint were all optional extras. Imagine how miserable you'd be having to do hundreds of miles a week in that.
Or if your business was doing really well, then you could lord it over your rivals with your sunroof, side repeaters and 2 year warranty.
My uncle spent years driving one in baby-crack brown with a government warrant symbol on the side as he used to work maintenance at a barracks. I can’t say he enjoyed it other than the fact the government markings meant he never got a speeding ticket…Or if your business was doing really well, then you could lord it over your rivals with your sunroof, side repeaters and 2 year warranty.

Mercedes Benz 190 Elektro, 44hp and 68 mile range, Mercedes ran one for 100,000km in one year - back in 1990!

They also did an Elektro version of the S123 a decade earlier. Battery packaging has come a long way - think of the weight, heat generation and recharge time....https://www.carscoops.com/2020/05/looking-back-at-...
