I loved these. We used to call them "Kombis". I wonder whether that was from the German?

It is indeed according to Wiki:
Kombi, from German : Kombinationskraftwagen (combination motor vehicle), with side windows and removable rear seats, both a passenger and a cargo vehicle combined.

My Father had a 64 Microbus,when I was a baby.I was born in 1968.And when I was a toodler.When I went with my Dad in The Bus.He would put me on his lap,while he was driving.And I loved it.It was like I was driving.Of course that was in the good old days,before Child Safety Laws.And Protecting children form everything ruined it kids altoghether.I know I'm rambling,but I think there is something about Nanny Government being OVERPROTECTIVE.

I hear you - My grandad had an Austin A40 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_A… and whenever we were visiting him on holiday, we would cram that car - including me and my siblings behind the rear seats in the luggage section.
But, we have to accept that we did a LOT of stupid stuff back then, and it's sort of not OK any more...
