Anyone recognise this roof / conversion ??

Here`s a puzzler for the anoraks out there ...
Looks very similar to a Westy but definitely not . You`ll notice the ribbing running length ways and a moulded platform in the centre for fitting a skylight , as well as the Westy style front luggage rack .



I have one of these conversions , @paradox has one and i`ve only seen a couple more . The common theme seems to be a LHD commercial vehicle imported from Europe in the `80s (mine is a Dutch ex post office van ) , and all use the same roof and striped bellows .

Anyone out there can shed a light on these conversions ??

 

He has exactly the same one but he`s as much in the dark as anyone i`ve spoken to

 

Did you know Paradox has a roof like that.?

 

I've seen a fair few over the years at shows
I've even seen them side hinged but I've never been able to find any info on them

 

Me neither mate - bit of a puzzler , just curious really ...

 

Well if you ever find anything out please shout up
I'd be interested for sure

 

I think @paradox has one like that

 

It's a Moonraker with the hinges put on wrong

 

is it a thatched roof

 

oh no thats the grass behind

 

Google translate. . it is a "postkantoor busje met een boot voor punteren boven scharniert aan de achterzijde"

 

"Post office van with a boat punting top hinged at the rear"

 

Where is the beach Lasty do you know ? looks nice .
