Yes there are!

For those of you who are interested: the type Bart means is a so-called "taxi-busje", taxi-van. Official name is  "caravelle". Even today you still can see of lot of vanagons of this type on the dutch (and european) roads.

In the front it has a double-seat on the right side, just good enough for two not too big persons. It also has a "wall" behind the front-seats, about 80cm high. Add the 3+3 in the back and you can stuff 9 persons in the vanagon.

I will look if I have some old pictures of my caravelle, before I rebuilded it to a simple camper-van, and post them some day.

Since there have been a lot of these vans running around the country, they are not difficult to get. You have to look carefully at the condition of the motor (most often the 1.6l diesel).

Grt,
Jaap
Caravelle '87
