1988 Mercedes Benz 209D Van

And after a month of housing crisis, I'm back!

1980 Mercedes Benz 300SD

Thanks to the owner for permitting pictures of the engine and interior.
He restored the real wood dash himself, and is doing other restoration too. Often when someone is working on a project, they only see the stuff that needs work, but I think this car is in great condition, a testament to the manufacturer and the owner.

1991 Toyota Dyna

We've seen that Mini in the last picture before.

1977 Mercedes Benz 409

I think the owner used to have this truck. Note the 3 doors.

1973 Mercedes Benz 220D

Old Mercedes make such excellent subjects.

1989 Toyota MasterAce Surf

Another eclectic little spaceship/van straight from Japan. Looks like it should be hovering on a cushion of air. All the streamlining and sunroofs in the world can't hide it's utilitarian roots though.

Still -- gotta like a vehicle where most of the roof is plexiglass.

1990 Mazda Bongo truck

What's great about these little Japanese trucks is their absolute minimalism. Small cab on the front, drive train and load bed behind. No ornamentation, little in the way of styling. Fold the sides of the load bed down and you have a flatbed. A hard working truck perfect for it's hard working operator.

1990 Toyota HiAce Super Custom

JDM vans are somewhat common in Vancouver, however I've only seen few of these Toyotas.

Love the sloping, aerodynamic shape of the front door windows, and the interesting shut lines. Plus the extended step in front of the front wheel, and all those seemingly random sunroofs.
