I'm sure there are at least 3 Pros who knows it.
This is not what it seems.

Modern 'replica' from the size based on a van such as a Ford Transit?

Yes, a modern nostalgia car. Don't know the base but there's a chassis number, SABLVLO3717....

The problem we have in the UK is that these cars are advertised to wedding parties as "vintage", and the people who hire them almost always believe that they are riding in an old car. I've told my daughter that if she hires one for a future nuptial, I will refuse to attend.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Quite so.  I loathe them.
I made sure my daughter's transport to her wedding was a 1926 Bullnose Morris - the REAL McCoy!  Did I enjoy the ride...  Best part of the day!
