many thanks for the warm welcome guys much appreciated
I live in Crewe in Cheshire,England, but the beast started its life in Baltimore, Maryland, born 5th august 1994 which apparently makes it a 1995 van.
this is the beast

I don't know its history Jim other than it came over to England in 2007, so quite possibly been to Japan from the States at some point.
the conversion company is another unknown, the only clue is the name " Stanford " on the seat headrests but not seen any other vans with that name, not over here anyway.

welcome. In the pic provided it looks like a wing off the door. What is that for ??
I googled Stanford and came up with a coachworks co in the UK. Maybe someone paid for the conversion ??

a wing ! do you mean the mirror, I know there a bit big but not that bad
by the condition of the conversion I would say its been done for some considerable time so as the van was only imported in 2007 I doubt very much it being done in England.
The vans history is something I would really like to discover but it seems almost impossible.
