What's in a name?

For years people have taken up the popular idea of naming their vehicle; but why has naming an inanimate object become such a phenomenon?

OUR VAN

At Footman James we recently fell in love with a classic 1987 VW T25, that looked like it had seen better days.

Since then, courtesy of Practical Classics and CBR Motor Bodies, the van has gone under restoration to transform its withered shell into a shiny new coat; all in time for the Practical Classics Restoration Show that returned to the NEC in March.

 

THE COMPETITION

Footman James now wants to join in on the fun and give our beloved classic car a name that suits its personality… this is where we need your help!

We are looking for a name that epitomises our show van. From Betsy to Bernie and Vera to Vernon, you can enter any name that you desire.

One lucky winner will not only have the honour to have named our FJ show van that will be seen by enthusiasts across the country, but will also receive a bundle of classic vehicle prizes!
