Nice!
Only ever saw one in the wild myself, in Noord Holland in 2006.

Very cool. Wonder if it is out for a test drive from restoration? No plates... Also curious about the two reflectors above the taillights.

Great color combo.

I think the two reflectors were standard equipment at some point on USA delivery cars.
