It was captioned a Chev until a couple of years ago when I told them what it was. Good to see they modified the captions.

There's a rather shiny C15 6 seat utility if you keep looking on that archive.

Out of simple curiosity,

Why are the tyres facing one direction on the front and another on the rear?

Would it make that much difference (i assume one end has been turned around for increased traction in some way).

Thanks,
Ian.
