What are the top 5 most famous vans in the world – models that, in most cases, cannot be traded in for newer versions? Normally, I am writing about how to approach leasing a van, or what the various attributes are in the finance world. But on this occasion, I wanted to focus on a light-hearted personal take on my top five ‘alternative’ vans.
Denise Van Outen
Now here is a model that you probably wouldn’t want to trade for newer version, at least not for a while yet! The Van Outen has classic lines and soft Aerodynamic curves with a great set of headlamps – definitely no over-tight wing nuts on this one. The downside could be that it has a large number of miles on the clock, as its early life was spent [humping JK] humping JK’s equipment up and down the motorway!
Eddy Van Halen
The Eddy Van Halen is my second choice for this list. This is pure flash, penis extension material – a real lump of extreme heavy metal. Far from classic lines, this model is jagged and distorted, but still has perfect pick-up technique. Years on the road have left this once lean machine, struggling to make the grade and definitely living off past glories. If you like a van with so much noise that you can’t hear yourself think – this is the one for you!
Lee Van Cleef
My third choice on my list is the Lee Van Cleef Sabata aka White Van Man. I like the Sabata because it is the model that everyone loves to hate. This is the Good, the Bad and the Ugly all rolled into mean mother of a wagon that enjoys intimidating and annoying the *!!* out of other motorists. This model is also smooth, calculating and above all ruthless and uncompromising. With the Lee Van Cleef, you have that extra speed of draw to out-gun any other predators on the road.
Dick Van Dyke
The Dick Van Dyke is my fourth favourite choice. A classic amongst veteran automobiles, it is fun to drive and can be quite versatile in its roles. Although slightly ‘cheesy’ in its style, it tried and failed miserably to imitate the cheeky cockney tones of its street-wise cousin – the Transit van.
Dr Van Helsing
Abraham Van Helsing is my final choice to make it into a list of top 5 vans. This is your thinking man’s ‘White Van Man’ – the Times reader of the road. You won’t see one of these in a transport café, and, contrary to popular belief, the Van Helsing is not a horror to drive.
Biography
Peter normally likes to write about anything that is happening within the world of van leasing, and also how consumers can get the best deals from van finance companies.

That’s a good point Anthony and one that everyone should consider before doing a deal. I think with finance arrangements if it really turns out to be a disaster you can always sue the company. But in most cases the benefits outweigh the potential risks – latest model every two years, maintenance free, plus a number of other goodies.

Fantastic first guest post here Peter, the last guy also played a small role in Star Wars I believe as Admiral Tarkin, correct me if I am wrong people?
I’m not going to lie. I thought you meant vans as in vehicles. I instantly thought the Chevy Astro. My brother had one until it decided to crash into a tree almost killing me. Thanks for all the great memories Astro. You died a champ.
