Hair Bear Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 There's a TV ad on at the moment for Oreos and it depicts a father changing the wheel of a campervan. Question is - what is it? It looks like a VW but it's too square. The wheel looks like an early VW but the hub looks to be a twin wheel. Anyone know what it is?

rosie Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 My friend who has a VW bus was asking the same question and apparently it's Hymer. But others say it might be something else which I can't remember now!! Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAFMT Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Borgward. http://www.borgward.co.za/index.php/club-members/laurrie-claassen/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hair Bear Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 When Rosie said Hymer I thought maybe a Hymer camper conversion on a Hanomag perhaps but I think RAFMT has got it with a Borgward. The picture on the link could be the same van! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosie Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Ha just posting this and the advert came on!!!!!!! Lol Anyway from RAFMTs link it is the same bus. This is a screen snap shot of ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hair Bear Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 That's odd... I'd not seen that view, I only saw it from the osr corner. Can't see for sure but the reg looks the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAFMT Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It does look like it could be the same vehicle. I'd only come across them through a search for more info on the German made vehicles used by 2TAF/BAFO/RAF Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hair Bear Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 I think you're right with the Fiat, although I'd forgotten all about the Taunus - wow - very similar. I remember about fifteen or maybe twenty years ago there was a tv ad for Argos (I think) which showed something being loaded into a strange squarish looking rhd MPV with a Ford badge on it, long before the Galaxy came on the scene. Some years later we were at a car dealer looking at a creature called a Mazda Bongo and there at the back of the yard amongst the other Japanese imports was a squarish looking MPV wearing a Ford badge. It was a Bongo, but rebadged as a Ford Freda! If I'd had you guys and the internet then I'm sure I'd have found what it was a whole lot quicker. And no, I didn't get one.
