Spot that car! XLO574S - The Orange VW camper

This appears several times in series 1:

1) Gunfight at the OK Laundrette:
- the kids pile out of the VW camper outside the laundrette just before the siege begins

2) The Smaller The Are:
- as Terry, Stan and Scotch Harry wait for Arthur to return "incognito" from the bed & breakfast the camper passes them (as does the brown cortina mentioned in another thread)

3) The Bounty Hunter:
- as Terry accompanies Fenton to his old blue cortina they walk past an orange VW camper

4) Aces High & Sometimes Very Low:
- as the white cortine with the greek driver collect Terry & Maurice after the second card game, watch carefully as the white cortina turns a corner, this VW camper is parked on the right hand side of the street

It's a 1973 Volkswagen Transporter [Typ 2 / T2] :

It was also used in various episodes of The Professionals. In the episode 'Rogue' it makes an appearance in the pre title sequence. In 'In The Public Interest' it can be seen driving past with it's side door open! and in 'A Hiding To Nothing' it pulls out in front of Bodie's Capri whilst he's chasing a red Lancia (below)

I have just seen a shot of an (probably this one) orange VW transporter in Monday Night Fever - the second time Chisolm is at the lock up you can see one parked in the street behind him.

I have also spotted a white VW transporter in several episodes too.

Just watched The Sweeney,Feet Of Clay on ITV 4.
When Ember hands over the money to the kidnapper,ther's a familliar looking VW Camper in shot as the kidnapper drives away.

Just watched "Another Bride,Another Groom".
When Terry drives the wedding car out of Reggie's lock-up,the camera then pans around to Ashmoles Chevette.
Parked opposite is an orange VW camper but can't read the plate.

I'm wondering if that was the van the crew used whilst shooting on location?

[Harvest Gold MG]

Either that or a crew members personal transport,parking wherever they can when on location.
There are a few vehicles that crop up repeatedly in the background of Sweeney episodes aswell.

Useful for filming etc,as they could always have a brew or bite to eat in it,whenever they wanted with all the facilities in board!
