Were there different floor options on the passenger side? I had a ride in Buzzy's (Ricks original) and recall having to tuck my knees under my chin!

Hi
Have a look at picture 6 taken from the drivers side, raised passenger footwell floor and no room to stretch your legs forward because of the offset engine. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

That is immaculate, strong price though in my opinion.
I tend to agree with the sentiment that a van should be a van though and not overdone. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

That's how they were, thanks to the offset engine. Although I did read in a FSOC magazine the other day that in New Zealand, there's a van with a sunken floor fitted on the passenger side to offer a semblance of legroom. Whether this was an option from new, or something fitted by an enterprising owner or dealer, I'm not entirely sure as I've never heard of it before.
I tend to go with the more "used" look myself, but occasionally it is nice to see a minter. But I'd be too scared to own it I think for fear of damage!!
