Hi Andrew, 
Interesting tale,
Few of us in the states would know what a  "one of those inboard-wheeled 60s
Commer vans"
is, and what are inboard wheels ?
an extra narrow track on one end, or ?

I did see the aftermath of two mid-late-70s Coronas colliding (RT100
& RT104, same car but different years) and while I had my 57 VW
panelvan I found myself following (in my other vehicle) one of those
inboard-wheeled 60s Commer vans with a plate one digit later than
mine.
