Nuevo (lancashire) on fiat chassis

Saw this on  a trip to Preston yesterday. Is it a rarity or one of the very first Nuevos ? All salesmen were busy so I couldn't ask about it.

Perhaps Peter can enlighten us. Looks more genuine than this one on Ebay...

Mine is an 06 Lancashire and is a peugeot, didn't think that they built on Fiat as I would loved to have bought one with a auto gearbox (still would)

Mines a 03 lanc on fiat chassis seen a few knocking about

Another interesting Fiat claimed A/S. Glove box job no will no doubt give some clues. The graphics are certainly strange, even if it is a Marquis model based on the Nuevo. I'd want to see the A/S build certificate.

That one certainly looks a bit odd and with a silver cab

I sent an Ebay question to seller saying 'you claim full service history, what is the history of the body being transplanted to a different cab?'.
The only reply I got was 'For more in for phone xxxxxxx' That is exactly the spelling used.
Do you remember a Duetto either last year or year before that had some sort of electrical fire and panels had been stripped out - this was the same seller as that one?

Maybe a crash damaged one with second hand parts harvested off a Fiat version of what is basically the same vehicle. Poor panel fit certainly gives that impression?

If i remember rightly, when AS dipped their toes in the rental market, they used a range of vans badged as "Vivante" and i am sure they were on a Fiat base with a lighter spec.  They all had purple/blue graphics with big sweeps on them.

Marquis at Preston certainly had similar models, and I am sure the Dorset/Sussex swb/mwb,  evolved from these with same fabric, and no black panels on the side. There was 100%  - a purple Sussex with alloy wheels there that was on a Fiat base. May even have a pic somewhere as we almost bought it.
