Interesting Bambi on ebay with twin windows in luton and what I thought is an internal layout that was fitted to later vehicles.  Ebay item number 160642221599

I don't think this is a bambi.... Grin

If you look at the roof line it looks to high - I reckon you could stand up in it like the Nipper - it isn't a Nipper though as the roofline is wrong.

The interior layout is also more reminiscent of the Nipper, and the windows don't look the Autohomes ones on the Bambi's either.

I've seen Bambi's with and without the Luton window, but never two.

I think the biggest hint is the badging though - Phoenix...?

Definitely NOT a Bambi, looks very modern for an 88 plate, would not mind the rear seats Grin

It looks like an Autohomes Bambi but check the trim between the cab roof and the luton overhang, on all Bambi's I've seen the side trim extends right out to the edge of the overhang.

Interesting though isn't it?

It's an interesting one, I'd say closer to a Nipper than anything else.  I know the roofline is different but the fridge on the drivers side is what sways me in that direction.

At the end of the day it's a fun wee van for someone to go and enjoy themselves and that's what counts  Wink

Aye, it is a little cracker by the look of it -even more distinctive than a bambi/nipper/romahome if thats possible!
