Vans usually had a hard life because they were mostly used for commercial purposes and often had to miss loving ownership and maintenance. However, there are quite a few survivors who have fought bravely, or have been cherished. Like this Acadiane.

It started its life in France. In 2014 it came to the Netherlands and was used for a catering company here. After that it was allowed to take a step towards retirement with an enthusiast, who then sold it on to another enthusiast in our area. He went all out on the car. He took it completely apart, replaced what was necessary constructively and technically and also gave it a new coat of paint.

The latter was not done super neatly, but more focused on practical use and a long lifespan. It drives fine again and is solidly put together. While he assumed making it ready for his own “eternity”, sometimes after a while a new project comes by that you want to devote yourself to.

The Acadiane was used less and less, so now it’s available for you!
