I guess the big question is whether the MOT will let you have a kammback. I understand motoring regs in some Euro jurisdictions can be pretty tight. Maybe if you paint it in loud bumblebee stripes and promise to always wear hi-viz.

Even before your mods you were getting nearly 50mpg (US) which, for even a little van, is frankly amazing. You tell us you're cracking 65 mpg (US) now, and I want to know: who did you find to push your van so much? I think you should figure that guy's mileage into yours.

Seriously. Pictures. I gotta see this thing.
