It is a Eurovan type of vehicle…and any search for it, under either spelling, gives me 3,000,006 articles about Danica Patrick.

The Mitsubishi Delica, manufactured since 1968 through 5 generations; also related to the Nissan NV200 and the Mazda Bongo Brawny. Properly outfitted, they make for cool overlanding rigs.
