Does anyone have any more information about this little van? I found the prospectus online that the photo above was taken from, and it certainly looks as if "Cofreth" is the model name, but the logo on the side of the van is a registered trade mark of what, at the time, was a heating and energy management company.

It subsequently became ELYO Cofreth S.A., and after other changes of name and ownership became part of the Cofely division of the GDF Suez empire.

So what's the story? Was this company involved in the development of the van, or did they commission it, or what? I'd like to think that if the answer was obvious, I'd have been able to work it out, but I can't, and my schoolboy French is not really up to trying to delve into it further. The signpainting on the van obviously says more, but it's not clear enough to make out. I just wondered if anyone could shed any light on this.

Thanks in anticipation...

I didn't know about this little van before I came across that sales sheet picture. I'd like to know more, too.
