Greg, what type of driver does M2 have? I see it has a strange window configuration...

I think it was a parcels van /guard van etc, Im not sure when they stopped using them, proberly mid 80's, There are some still in use now, but they've added windows and seats in place where the closed area is, as the big guards area is still in use.
