Toyota Lite Ace - DavidHM
Downsides: it's an old, tired van that looks like a van, drives like a van, has no crash protection, is available mainly as a Japanese import with no understandable history, may not be rustproofed, as a Japanese spec version, parts availability may be limited, and it is frequently wildly overpriced.

Worst of all, it might still prove difficult to kill the b*****. What's your budget? If it's less than about £2,000 it might make some kind of perverted sense, but I suspect we're talking about £5,000 to £7,000 here. For a 10 year old van.
