Is the infamous #12 Toyota-related?

I didn't lock the topic for Djetset, who I suspect knew the answer, in which case sorry! But pnegyesi got the answer!

The reason why the Toyota Deliboy is so notorious is because there is so much misinformation about it on the internet, particularly after red-top papers picked up on 'world's worst car name' websites. You will find this van described variously as the Nissan Deliboy, Toyota Pantry Boy and - worst of all - the Yamaha Pantry Boy Supreme. Did Yamaha ever make commercial vehicles?

Depends on what you call commercial.
