FAO the original Royal Nail van owner/builder
Who did the graphics for it?? I have an ex Royal Mail LDV van that I am doing a camper conversion on and going to europe in summer with it, would like to get the Royal Nail graphics on it! Was hoping you could put me in touch with whoever did them for you, and if you can remember a price?
Many thanks mate

Why repeat what's been done.
Parcel Farce Worldwide would be better.
Europeans probably wouldn't see the Royal Nail as Post Office, more likely a dig at the Royals and probably get you locked up in some countries.

I dont think it was no. I know when wenny bought it the van had a 2.8 v6 turbo engine in it. Im sure it only lasted a nite till it blew up.

It was a sierra rear diff & beam in it but I think the mounts were just fabbed up from box section for the diff & beam mounts, wasnt actually a sierra floor used in it.
