Motel or Twosome ???
Hi Keef. 'Fraid there's no way for sure without a "plate" to identify our 'van's. The guy I bought mine from assured me that it was a Mini-Motel and yours looks just like mine, apart from the rear light clusters. The original lights are three separate little 'round' bullet type, as fitted to most old car's. One old boy at a show told me that "it was the Mini-Motel that had two small mirrors fitted either side of both side windows and worktop/sink - cum child bed with a clever slide out table to sit at". This was not so with a 'twosome' they only had the worktop.
I guess we'll have to ask more old folk that had these 'vans' for any other bits of info, before it's too late.... Hope it's helped.

Ah well; thanks anyway.paul~3 wrote:Hi Keef. 'Fraid there's no way for sure without a "plate" to identify our 'vans'.
I replaced the rear lights with the ones pictured as they seemed far too small at the time. I think I still have the originals somewhere.
Edit: I advertised this van for sale in Farina News (along with a 1960 Riley 1.5) in September 1992 and sold it soon afterwards.
