Hi Duncan
You may have realised but the car spotted is not an original pickup but one made from either a van or estate. You can tell by the seam across the roof and down the sides. The rear windows are wrong too.
Cheers

May have been a van when it left the factory; wouldn't have been an estate (Traveller) as they didn't have a proper chassis at the rear - it's just peeking out under the pickup bed in that photo. The only certain way to check what it started out as is the chassis number/VIN prefix. MAV = van; MAU =Pickup.
BTW, the factory pickups did have a seam across the cab, filled with a rubber moulding, you can just see it in the photo of my old "Sudden Green" (as my mates dubbed the colour) pickup on the previous page.
