Bit of a tall order that one!!!
Supercarry`s & Rascals of that era were all built on the same production line at Luton with the only difference being the badging. I have never come across a Supercarry in Cargo Blue though.
Spotted a red "h" reg. in my local camper van centre. Part converted to a camper with windows in the side doors. Dog rough & he wants 6 to 8 hundred for it. He has been inundated with africans wanting it but he wont sell to them.
It will probably appear on ebay.
My customr who has had two stolen in the last couple of months has bought a 2004 Carry 1.3 for £1,500 locally. It`s low milage, very clean & straight & looks a good`un. I have checked it over for him & in doing so was able to see that nothing is the same as a Rascarry so no interchangeability.

I think your bang on there Dell, when i was looking to buy my one new from the dealers of the time , the Bedford van was being sold through Toomeys at Laindon, and the Suzuki was from The Tarpots junction, Benfleet, both in Essex.
I do remember not being able to get the same blue in a Suzuki, but the deciding factor for the purchase was with the Bedford, all the extras from both suppliers were the same but with a Bedford you could have cloth trim. So it was a Bedford.

The Nigerian breakers yard a few miles up the road from me buy up loads, I see many cut up.
They remove the roof and sides, then very cleverly turn them into flat pack "kits". they then manage to fit a couple of rascals inside a bigger van. then they export them and weld them back together after their cruise.

Over the past few years ive seen a couple of blue ones go that way, but wasnt looking for one then.
