A Peugeot Boxer is a panel van. It was a joint venture between Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat. The chassis was used by many European and UK motor home builders as it was a very reliable vehicle. It has gone through several changes since mine was produced but is still very popular with the motor home builders.

I think that they will be as rare as hen's teeth now as the body wasn't very rust resistant. I certainly haven't seen one in the last 30 years and I go to several major old car shows every year.
